The fourth and final Lenoir-Rhyne core value is excellence. LR students, faculty and alumni always strive to do the best in anything we do. We want to continue to grow consistently, and develop our talents and knowledge to the fullest extent.
Curiosity is the third of LR’s four core values. We want to continue to learn about the past and the present, confront issues with open minds, and embrace differences of other people and perspectives.
Chapel is one of LR’s precious events on campus. Held every week on Wednesday at 10 am in our Grace Chapel, students come out to enjoy a service by our pastor, Pastor Weisner, or a guest pastor accompanied by the lovely voices of our Chapel Choir.
“Playmakers helped me become someone I never even imagined. Discovering myself in my roles and making amazing friends. In the upcoming musical at LR, CHICAGO, my lines are in a different language and it is a challenge that will make me a stronger actress.”
