    Based on updated reports regarding road conditions across our region, Lenoir-Rhyne will operate as follows on Wednesday, Jan. 28:

    • Hickory and Asheville locations: Remote work and remote instruction
    • Columbia location: Normal operations

    This decision is being made out of an abundance of caution to prioritize the safety of our campus community, particularly as road conditions may vary significantly by location and throughout the day.

    Important reminders:

    • Students: Continue to check Canvas and email for updates and instructions from your instructors.
    • Faculty and staff: Communicate with your supervisors as needed and remain flexible as we navigate these conditions together.

Clery Crime Report

Campus safety and security are important to our community. Because we value the wellbeing of those on our university campus and around us, and in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, we publish an annual report containing crime statistics, security policies and other related information.

Our Clery Report includes statistics for the previous three years detailing any Clery Act reportable crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Lenoir-Rhyne University and public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, our campuses in Hickory, Asheville and Columbia.

Clery reports covering the previous year are posted not later than October 1.
