Partner with Longwood: Connect with Tomorrow’s Leaders
At Longwood University, we prepare students to be adaptable, thoughtful, and ready to contribute from day one. More than 80% of Lancers complete an internship before graduation, gaining real-world experience that gives them a competitive edge. Through our Civitae Core Curriculum—Longwood’s signature pathway to citizen leadership—students intentionally build the critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills that matter most in today’s workplace.
When you hire a Lancer, you gain a collaborative, curious, and community-minded emerging professional who is ready to grow with your organization and make a meaningful impact.
