N. H. Scott Center

The N.H. Scott Center is a vibrant hub dedicated to fostering connection, community, and belonging across campus. Named in honor of Nancy H. “Cookie” Scott ’72—Longwood University’s first African-American graduate and a trailblazer whose legacy continues to inspire—the Center brings people together to learn from one another, build meaningful relationships, and celebrate the richness of our campus community.

Designed as a welcoming space for all students, the N.H. Scott Center encourages engagement across differences through opportunities for dialogue, collaboration, and shared learning. The Center supports students in developing the skills, confidence, and curiosity needed to navigate diverse perspectives and experiences, empowering them to grow as compassionate citizen leaders.

The N.H. Scott Center offers a variety of flexible and inviting spaces, including meeting rooms, group and individual study areas, comfortable lounges, a dedicated meditation and reflection space for quiet renewal, and the Q+ Hub Resource Center, which provides support and resources for LGBTQ+ students and allies.

Whether you’re looking to connect with friends, engage in thoughtful conversation, or recharge between classes, the N.H. Scott Center is a welcoming home for every member of the Longwood community.
