• Return to Normal University Operations on Thursday, Feb. 20

    Lenoir-Rhyne University will return to normal university operations on Thursday, Feb. 20, at our all of our campus locations—Hickory, Columbia and Asheville. Classes will resume as scheduled, and all offices will be open.

    UPDATE: Feb. 20, 9:15 a.m. (from Academic Affairs)
    Due to the recent weather changes in Hickory, you may opt to move your classes to remote delivery today if you have concerns about safely traveling to campus. If you choose to hold classes remotely, please notify your students and your dean as soon as possible.

    For those holding in-person classes, we ask that you exercise flexibility with attendance policies, understanding that some students may face transportation challenges or safety concerns. Students should not feel compelled to risk unsafe travel conditions to attend class.

    Please communicate your teaching plans to your students and your dean.

    Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring everyone's safety while maintaining academic continuity.

Moretz Stadium Lacrosse Facility Upgrades


In its short life at Lenoir-Rhyne, lacrosse has become a focal point of our athletic department. Our men’s and women’s programs have combined to win six SAC regular season titles, two SAC tournament titles and have advanced to three NCAA tournaments including a trip to the National Championship game for our men’s team in 2021.

Now, with the Centennial Campaign for Moretz Stadium, there is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to support LR lacrosse and build the facilities that will position the program for sustained success well into the future. The main improvements include a brand new lacrosse facility that will include a state-of-the-art locker rooms and team lounges for both programs, along with restrooms, storage, and laundry space.

To make this dream a reality, we need YOU! Giving options have been designed with lacrosse alumni and parents in mind. All gifts can be made over multiple years to provide you with flexibility and benefits include naming options and exclusive LR lacrosse merchandise.
