Jen Rentschler
Assistant Director for Volunteer and Service Learning I came to Longwood University after finishing my masters degree in College Student Personnel at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Before that, I studied at beautiful Appalachian State University and received my BS in Psychology, where I also worked for several years as a student assistant in a community service office. I always found it extremely rewarding to be able to encourage others to give of their time and talents to help the surrounding Appalachian community. It's exciting to continue this sort of work here at Longwood University, where I do my best to ensure that LU students have a variety of volunteer opportunities available to them. I’m more than happy to meet with individuals or student groups to set up a fun and exciting service project with one of our many friendly community partners. Stop by 218 Lankford Student Union anytime and say hello!
