Rain Plan
At Commuter Life, we try to be a “no cancel” team! In the event of forecasted rain, we’ll update our Instagram and website details with an alternative indoor location for pregame fun. The anticipated location for tailgates during a rain plan is the Commuter Lounge in Green Hall 1875.
Introvert Happy Hour
Sometimes, the best way to recharge is with a warm drink, a good book, and easygoing company. Introvert Happy Hour is our commuter-exclusive event series designed for a slower, cozier kind of connection.
Hosted at one of Lynchburg’s local coffee shops, these experiences create a welcoming space where you can sip coffee or tea, unwind, and engage in light conversation with fellow commuters. Whether you’re here to read, reflect, or share quiet moments with new friends, this is your space to just be.
No stress, no rush—just a relaxed atmosphere where connection happens naturally. Spots fill up fast, so be sure to register for these events in advance!
