• University Storm Recovery Updates

    UPDATE: Tuesday, Oct. 29, 8:30 a.m.
    We are pleased to announce that Wi-Fi service has been restored to the Asheville Center. Current students, faculty, and staff may now access the building for study, work or other necessary activities. Please note there may be occasional short outages as our service provider continues the recovery process.

    Drinking water is not available in the building. Some bottled water is available on site, but we encourage anyone using the building to bring their own drinking water if possible. The bathrooms on site now have working toilets.

    We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate the challenges posed by Hurricane Helene. Please stay tuned for further updates.

Enhancing diversity on campus

Multicultural Affairs


The Office of Multicultural Affairs aspires to create and support a diverse community that welcomes people of different races, cultures, ages, genders, sexual orientation, religions, socioeconomic levels, political perspectives, abilities, opinions, values and experiences.

We strive to reflect these differences in our decisions, curriculum, programs and actions.

As a university community, we seek to ensure that underrepresented groups have equal access to the education and resource opportunities available at Lenoir-Rhyne.

Cultural Series Celebrations

We strive to create an environment that brings out the best in all people and advocate for all. Through various programs, we seek to ensure that underrepresented groups have equal access to the education and resource opportunities available. 

Our office oversees various affinity groups and organizations that supports and encourages multicultural identities, such as: 

  • LR Pride Club 
  • African Student Union 
  • Black Student Alliance 
  • Latin Hispanic Student Alliance
