Meet the Seldens

The Doctors Selden

Having grown up just down the road in Appomattox, Dr. Sally Selden’s return to the University of Lynchburg is a homecoming in the most literal sense.

Joining her is her husband Frank Selden, PhD, a dedicated psychologist who will be continuing his impactful work through his practice here in the Lynchburg community.

As parents to three adult sons—Jacob, Nate, and Owen—the Seldens understand the importance of family, and we are honored to officially welcome theirs into our own. We look forward to seeing them both around campus and in the community as they begin this exciting new chapter with us.
