As we say hello to 2017, here are just a few of the memorable social media posts from the Longwood community over the past year.


1. The Lester Holt shout-out

The Longwood community eagerly anticipated hosting the 2016 U.S. Vice Presidential Debate... and it was this moment when things got real.


2. Outdoor classrooms

 

Here's to having the most beautiful classroom the past week. #LUYNP

A gift from Joan ’64 and Macon Brock will support more transformational learning experiences such as the "Longwood at Yellowstone National Park" program.


3. A campus in the spotlight

As many can attest, the campus looked amazing in preparation for hosting the U.S. Vice Presidential Debate. [video]


4. When LU softball made it to the NCAA Regional Tournament and the team’s reaction made it on ESPNU

 



6. Citizen leaders in action

 

Throughout 2016, Longwood students continued to show us what citizen leadership is all about.



8. It’s a family affair

 

We are the Lancer family—and that’s especially true for some more than others.


9. #LongwoodTraditions part deux

Lancers know Longwood has the best traditions, but in 2016 the Chronicle of Higher Education recognized it too.


10. That time the Harlem Globetrotters brought their trick shots to Willett


11. #LoveYourLongwood Day

 

Longwood held it’s first-ever day of giving celebration and the Lancer family showed their support. The countdown has already started for 2017.


12. Welcoming the class of 2021

#Longwood21 acceptance letters are out, and as usual, the recipients are quite excited about joining the Lancer family in fall of 2017.



14. Virginia Children’s Book Festival

 

In its third year, the Virginia Children's Book Festival brought over 7,000 children from all over Virginia to Longwood’s campus to hear from their favorite authors and illustrators—including a 2016 National Book Award winner and a 2016 Newbery Medal winner.


15. Faculty mentorship

 

It's no surprise—Longwood faculty continues to inspire students even after they graduate.


16. And of course... the #LongwoodDebate

 

At the heart of the debate experience were the opportunities it brought for our students. [video]
