I thoroughly enjoyed my time at University of Lynchburg thanks to the wonderful faculty in the Education Department. I truly cannot say enough about how much they have impacted me as a teacher and a person in such a short period of time. I highly recommend Lynchburg’s education programs and plan to pursue additional endorsements here in the future. The faculty really do make the difference!
