Hickory Campus

Discover everything our historic and dynamic campus has to offer.

Between its quaint small town feeling and being a commutable drive from major cities, Hickory is truly the best of both worlds. You'll have access to everything from internships and community service to a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities in the foothills of Western North Carolina.

Campus Highlights

Check out some of our favorite spots on campus to study, relax or meet up with friends.

The Cromer Center serves as our student union and inside is our campus dining hall, bookstore, mail center, Joe’s Coffee Shop, which serves Starbucks coffee, our on-campus Chick-fil-A and our student life offices.

Moretz Stadium is home to our football and men’s and women’s lacrosse programs. It's a special place at Lenoir-Rhyne where students from all areas of life come together to cheer on our fellow Bears!

The Carl A. Rudisill Library houses many academic resources, including electronic resources available 24/7, more than 50 computers, group study rooms and the Lohr Learning Commons.

The modern gothic style Grace Chapel hosts our optional chapel service every Wednesday morning, as well as musical performances throughout the year.
