Campus Housing Committee created to enhance residential life
Lenoir-Rhyne University has announced the formation of a Housing Committee dedicated to enhancing the residential experience for its students. This committee will conduct a thorough review of the university’s existing residence halls and propose recommendations for improvements.

The Housing Committee will assess the current state of residence halls, identify areas for improvement, and develop innovative solutions. The committee will consider factors such as physical condition, amenities, and overall student satisfaction.
The committee members include Duane Dassow ’75, member of the board of trustees; Steve Carter, M.D., ’74, member of the board of trustees; Ike Oglesby ’91, member of the board of trustees; Jeremy Shreve, vice president for business and finance; Leah Beth Hubbard, DSL, assistant vice president for admissions; Harry Titus, Ed.D., assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students; and Rashad Yelding ’22, MBA ’23, M.A. ’26, current LR student.
“We are committed to providing our students with a high-quality living environment,” said Lenoir-Rhyne University President Fred Whitt, Ed.D. “The Housing Committee will play a vital role in ensuring that enhancing our residence halls is not only a priority, but our plan will meet the evolving needs of our students and contribute to their academic success.”
The committee will begin its work immediately and is expected to present its findings and recommendations to the university administration when completed.
