Many Voices The LVC community benefits from many types of diversity—cultural, religious, political, economic—and celebrates the various views, opinions, and backgrounds of its students, faculty, and staff. To create a welcoming and inclusive environment, LVC supports a number of cultural awareness, advocacy, and social justice organizations; sponsors cultural and diversity awareness programming; and creates opportunities for dialogue about social justice on campus and beyond. LVC’s proximity to urban areas such as Harrisburg, Lancaster, and York makes it easy for students to seek out and experience diverse environments and cultures.
