The Lyon College community is mourning the loss of senior Ignacio “Nacho” Gomez, who passed away this morning.
At this time, the College asks that the community respect the privacy of both the family and students as they mourn.
Both the men's and women's basketball teams won the American Midwest Conference Championship!
This is the men's team's first AMC Championship in program history! The women's team won the AMC Championship for the second-straight year!

“I couldn’t have picked a better place to go than Lyon. Everyone was so supportive and welcoming.”
Kylan Barnett, of West Palm Beach, Fla., will graduate this May with a major in business administration (management) and a minor in physical education.
The Lyon College community is deeply saddened to announce the passing of one of our students. The College is fully cooperating with the Batesville Police Department, and for privacy reasons, we cannot share further information at this time.
Plans are underway to name the football player lounge in honor of Nacho Gomez and to erect a permanent memorial when construction of the new football field is completed.

Renovations, makeovers, and overhauls oh my! The Lyon Den is getting some cool new upgrades to make sure that when students get back to campus, they have an incredible new place to get some grub! Keep an eye out for more updates!
We say “perseverance conquers all, God willing.” With the events occurring across the nation, we want to state we stand with our students, faculty, staff, and alumni of color; we strive to end injustice; and we encourage continued dialogue to focus on racial disparities.
Legendary baker Brenda Hyatt joined the Arkansas College family in 1981. After four decades of providing sweet treats, chocolate-laden smiles and enough sugar rushes to get us through finals, the legendary baker will be hanging up her apron in December for retirement.
"Being the first in history means we are in Lyon’s books forever.”

The first day of class is bittersweet this year. While we are excited to be learning together on campus again this spring, we are saddened that not every member of the Lyon community is here with us. Remember our motto: Perseverance conquers all things, God willing.
