Why Is Being A Hornet Important To You?: Being a Hornet is important to me because there is a special bond that is established among students at LC. That bond translates to being an athlete at Lynchburg College because we carry with us the excellence, pride, determination, and character that being a LC Hornet and all the Hornet alumni have instilled in us.
