Belonging & Unity at Lipscomb University
Lipscomb is devoted to building a culture of belonging and unity on our campus. We strive to “walk humbly with our God” on our continuing journey to serve all students. As a Christ-centered community, our greatest contribution is to ensure every student feels valued as an image-bearer of God. As beneficiaries of God’s love and grace, we reflect His truth when we treat each other with fairness, respect and compassion.
The Lipscomb community is strong and resilient, but our strength is how we look out for one another in challenging times: it’s our kindness, it’s our compassion, it’s our care. — William Turner, Special Counsel to the President

Student Life
Everyone has a community here. All students have an opportunity to be a part of a robust offering of organizations or to participate in annual cultural events like Welcome to Our Worlds (WOW) week.
