Unfortunately most of what we're known for today has to do with the dubious former president
, but there are some cool things we are known for:
Snowflex: a year-round snowboarding, skiing, & tubing center on Candlers Mountain.
Monogram: the giant monogram of the school's logo visible from a good distance away throughout the south-central portion of Lynchburg.
Convocation: Twice a week today (formerly 3x/wk), this stands as the largest non-sports gathering of college students weekly, as they hear from pastors, local leaders, athletes, artists, political leaders, authors, & business leaders, with worship as part of these gatherings.
Community Service: Students are required to give at least twenty hours of community service each semester, & this includes serving in leadership on campus, serving in local charities, & helping serve in local churches. Additionally, a number of student take time during Fall & Spring Breaks to serve throughout the US & even in other countries.
