As we say hello to 2018, here are just a few of the memorable social media posts from the Longwood community over the past year.


1. When you win your third straight Big South Championship...


...in front of a stadium full of fans on Lancer Field. Now THAT'S how you do it.


2. Then and now

In the early afternoon on Monday, Aug. 21, the skies darkened over Farmville and much of the rest of the U.S. as the moon moved in front of the sun for a rare solar eclipse... and the Longwood community had front row seats.


14. Virginia Children’s Book Festival


In its fourth year, the Virginia Children's Book Festival brought more than 7,000 children from all over Virginia to Longwood’s campus to hear from their favorite authors and illustrators.
