First Fridays at the University of Lynchburg

Campus Tours. Expert Talks.

At First Fridays, Turn “What if?” into “What’s next.”

Ever wondered what it takes to turn your wild ideas into something real? Start at our First Friday visit events — and keep the momentum going all year.

At the University of Lynchburg, First Friday aren’t just about getting you ready for college. They’re about preparing you for the life you want after college — with skills, mentors, and real-world practice that actually translate.

Why First Fridays?

AI advantage, decoded. Sit in with Google guru Charley Butcher for “The AI-Powered Advantage in Education.”
Hands-on, not hands-off. Jump into a workshop in healthcare, criminology, biology, or art — sleeves up, brains on.
Ask us anything. Mingle with faculty and current students, kick the tires on your major, and get straight answers.
Campus life, for real. Eat in our award-winning dining hall, tour campus, and learn how affordable a Lynchburg education can be.
