  • University Storm Recovery Updates

    UPDATE: Monday, Sept. 30, 5 p.m.
    As of a few minutes ago, power has been fully restored to the Hickory campus. Every building should now have power and internet. In addition, internet is now available across the Columbia campus. 

    We have learned that our Asheville center facility received minimal damage and has power. However, the building does not have water or internet. We continue to identify options to support our students, faculty and staff in the Asheville area. 

    On Thursday, Oct. 3, at 7:30 p.m., the LR Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony Concert will perform its first concert of the year, “Skyward!” at P.E. Monroe Auditorium on the Hickory campus. This event was originally scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 1. If you can safely travel, we hope you can join us for a musical outlet for our community as we recover from Hurricane Helene. 

    Thank you for your continued support.

A safe place to live, learn & work

Campus Safety

Campus safety and wellbeing is a community priority and responsibility.

Safety on campus is coordinated by the Office of Public Safety, which is located in Cromer Center. The office provides the following services to the university community.

  • Assist members of the university community in emergency situations while making every effort to provide for their safety
  • Protect LR property and enforces all university traffic rules and regulations
  • Strive to make the campus a safe place to live and work
  • Conduct foot and vehicular patrols of the campus community 24 hours per day, seven days per week

Members of the campus community should always be mindful of your safety and that of others while on- or off-campus and immediately report any suspicious persons or activities to Public Safety.
