Friends of LR
㽶ý campuses in Hickory, Asheville and Columbia participate in the University City Commission's Friends of LR Discount Program.
The is a board aimed at broadening the relationship between LR and its home city. The program allows businesses to express support for LR by offering a discount to their local LR campus community.
Currently, more than 50 businesses provide LR discounts. Any business is invited to participate in the program by offering a discount to LR students, faculty and staff. Businesses are also welcome to extend their discount to LR alumni.
All Friends of LR receive a flag, pennant and “We Support LR” sticker to display in your business. LR and University City Commission thank you for your local support and the many ways you add value to the community.
