It is with profound sorrow and broken hearts that we share the news of the death of our beloved
Betty Spencer, Dining Hall "clicker lady" and LC Hornets finest fan (and LC Honorary Alumna 2003).

Betty was diagnosed with cancer very recently and faced her illness with great courage and deep faith.  She was surrounded by her devoted and loving family throughout her last days.

Words cannot express that loss that all of us feel with the news of Betty's death.  Betty influenced generations of LC students, faculty, and staff with her love, wisdom, humor, and motherly care.     

May we honor her memory in the days and weeks ahead by offering to one another the same comfort and support that she so often gave to all of us.

Lynchburg College Alumni:  Today
  

Lynchburg College alumni are scattered across the country, and even around the world. But no matter where their lives have led them, our alumni all share a common bond—and that’s the place they started out.

That’s why Lynchburg College is working on a new publication designed to help bring our alumni back together. This new Alumni: Today publication will include comprehensive biographical listings with contact information, career overviews, and family highlights of our graduates. Plus, a special section about the school will help you reminisce as you read about our past and learn what’s in store for the future.

To make sure our Lynchburg College Alumni: Today is as up-to-date as possible, our publisher, Harris Connect, will begin contacting alumni in March 2010 to verify that the information we will print is accurate and complete. Harris Connect has more than 45 years experience researching and publishing alumni and membership directories.

Please help us make this publication full of the latest information about you and your fellow alumni  It will be a fun and useful reference, as well as helpful in keeping people in touch with one another.
