Dear Blue Tiger Family and Friends,

Fax: (573) 681-6074
Please join me in congratulating this year’s campus royalty. The annual coronation of Mister Lincoln University and Miss Lincoln University is not only a celebration of leadership and achievement, but it is the continuation of a rich tradition on our campus.
This year, we recognize the 101st Miss Lincoln University Dayonna Crump and the 23rd Mister Lincoln University Jamir Hunt. Their names will now be listed among an exclusive list of student leaders who have served in these roles. They both carry much more than the crown and titles. They also uphold the mission of our university as they serve as ambassadors of pride, service and excellence
Their reign comes during a special time as we mark our 100th Homecoming here at Lincoln University. For a century, students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community have come together to reminisce on the past and renew their commitment to the university’s present and future. Throughout that time, coronation has been a highly anticipated tradition of those celebrations.
To Miss Lincoln University Dayonna Crump and Mister Lincoln University Jamir Hunt, as you move through this year, I know you will do so with the courage and distinction it takes to serve as a student leader. Every Blue Tiger adds their story to our history, and you are in a chapter that will not be forgotten. Be as proud of yourself as we all are of you. Congratulations and good luck.
With Blue Tiger Pride in Our Traditions,
John Moseley, Ed.D. President

Your reign is especially significant to our campus community as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Homecoming and honor 101 years of campus royalty. To serve as Mister and Miss Lincoln during this historic milestone is both an honor and a responsibility. You stand as living symbols of our rich heritage, carrying forward the values of service, leadership and pride that define the Blue Tiger experience.
The coronation ceremony itself holds a profound place in the life of Lincoln University.
