• Hurricane Helene Storm Updates

    UPDATE: Saturday, Sept. 28, 5:30 p.m.
    We continue to work closely with Duke Energy to get updates on the Hickory area. As of this afternoon, they are unable to provide a timeline for power to be restored to campus. We will continue to share updates from Duke Energy as we receive them.

    Students who are on campus are encouraged to come to the Rudisill Library from 9 p.m. until 12 a.m. tonight for late-night programming. There will be food and drinks available. 

    The Hickory YMCA, located at 701 1st St NW, will be open tomorrow from 1-5 p.m. Students are welcome to go there to shower. Please present your LR ID at the desk and you will be asked to fill out a guest waiver. Also, tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. there will be s’mores and hot dogs available at the firepit behind Grace Chapel.

    We will continue to send regular updates so please monitor your email and LR.edu. 

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
