Lincoln Lion Magazine - Summer 2023

Letter from the President

Dear Lincoln Alumni and Friends,

I am honored to reintroduce the Lincoln Lion Magazine! As we approached the end of the academic year, it was an opportune time for us to reflect on our achievements and the future direction of our institution. In this issue, we are thrilled to highlight the accomplishments of our students, faculty and alumni, and discuss our renewed focus on our roots as a liberal arts institution.

We were excited to celebrate our 164th commencement celebration and welcome back our esteemed alumni to the place where many of them began their life-changing academic journey. We were equally excited to welcome our newest graduates into the Lincoln University family. Lincoln University has been a transformative experience for countless individuals, shaping their personal and professional lives in profound ways. We are honored to be a part of this journey and look forward to celebrating this milestone.

In a rapidly changing world, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing the best liberal arts education. We understand the need to evolve and expand how we deliver this education to our students and are constantly looking for ways to deliver on that promise. This year, we received a grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce for almost $3 million to expand our technological infrastructure. In 2024, we will become the first HBCU to break ground on a solar farm, providing our students with opportunities to learn about the importance of sustainability and its impact on our economy and energy infrastructure. Furthermore, we have been recognized as a Fulbright HBCU institutional leader for the third year in a row, a testament to the quality of education we provided.

Our athletic teams have made us proud with their record-breaking performances all year. A Lincoln student ranked #2 in the nation in the long jump competition, and we made history as the first Lincoln University men’s basketball player to be selected to play in an HBCU all-star game.

We remain committed to addressing the varied needs of our diverse student body. Supporting students outside of academics was a top priority for my administration. This year, we intensified our efforts to provide mental health services and resources for our students by expanding our counseling options and supporting campus-wide mental health initiatives.

As we honor the legacy that has brought us this far, we understand the importance of shaping the future of our institution. We are excited to continue providing our students with the skills, knowledge, and tools they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to Lincoln University.

Sincerely,

Brenda Allen, Ph.D.

Lincoln Goes to Panama

Five students from Lincoln University had the opportunity of a lifetime over Spring Break, as they joined Dr. Jennifer McCarthy on a pilot Faculty-Led International Travel for Education (FLITE) course to Panama. The students experienced the rainforest firsthand, conducting research on species diversity, while learning about sustainability and communitybased conservation. The course offered a hands-on experience in tropical ecology, providing valuable knowledge for the students.

The FLITE program offers unique opportunities for students to gain international experience and develop skills in their field of study. Lincoln University is proud

to have provided this amazing opportunity for their students to learn and grow, as they work towards becoming the future leaders of their industries.

Lincoln University continues to encourage and support their students to participate in international programs such as FLITE, providing opportunities to broaden their horizons and develop their skills. This opportunity to learn and grow will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the lives of these five students and their future endeavors

Building Our Pride Through Community Service

As graduates of Lincoln University, we should all be fiercely proud to witness the incredible impact that our students are making in their communities. From selfless volunteer efforts to spearheading social change initiatives – it’s inspiring how far and wide this university is spreading its positive influence! The Community Service Club has been at the forefront of these actions – a student-run organization with an impressive mission – improving local neighborhoods through meaningful service projects. In recognition of everything they have done, let us take you on a journey showcasing some of their recent achievements!

At Lincoln University, we believe that community service is an essential part of student life. By volunteering and helping those in need, our students can make a positive difference and gain invaluable experience at the same time! This semester has seen us working with various organizations such as Chosen 300 Foundation, St Paul’s Baptist Church, and Mary Mother of Hope House-Dining Hall to provide relief when needed. Our students are even expanding their reach beyond local initiatives through international aid projects planned by a special committee put together for this purpose – allowing them to share hope around the world while teaching them how much they have been blessed themselves.

Facility Updates

Amos Hall, located at the northwestern area of Lincoln University’s Historic District, is a historic building that has been an integral part of the University’s history. The hall was built in 1902 and named after its first graduate. Over the years, Amos Hall has served many purposes. It was initially used as a dormitory for male students but later became a women’s dormitory during World War II when male students were drafted into military service. In the 1960s, it was converted into administrative offices and classrooms.

Today, Amos Hall remains an important landmark on campus and serves as a reminder of Lincoln University’s rich history and contributions to AfricanAmerican education. In the past three years, Amos Hall has undergone an extensive renovation and addition to modernize its facilities while still preserving its historic architecture. Today, the new building program includes spaces for the African Art and Material Culture collection, a gallery, art studios, relocation of the IT hub, faculty offices, classrooms, and a seminar space all dedicated to the art department. The project is 99% complete with furniture move-in completed this June. The building will be open for Fall semester.

Vail Hall, located in the same area as Amos Hall, was built 125 years ago as the university’s first library. Construction started in mid-September 2022. The project scope includes renovation of the exterior and lobby restoration of the historic 1898 structure, demolition of the 1953 addition, construction of a new addition, and a sustainably designed geothermal heating and cooling system. The renovated building will house administrative functions, which include the president’s office. Estimated construction completion date is April 2024.

Cresson Hall, located right next door to Vail Hall, was built in 1870. Construction just started this April and is estimated to be complete in January 2025. The renovation will include a complete restoration of the building envelope to its original late-nineteenthcentury appearance and new slate roof. An elevator and a new porch and handicapped entrance on the west side will be installed. The first floor will include exhibit and research space and the upper floors will provide housing for approximately 30 students. Cresson Hall will be the home of the Underground Railroad Initiative.

Lincoln Receives Funding to Enhance Technology Infrastructure

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration of the Department of Commerce awarded a dozen universities with technology funding as part of their Connecting Minority Communities Pilot Program. This initiative aims to provide better access to technology and digital literacy skills for minority communities. As part of the program, 12 grants were awarded, seven of which were HBCUs, and Lincoln is proud to be among them.

These 12 grants totaling over $33.5 million fund projects to expand community technology hubs, upgrade classroom technology, and enhance digital literacy skills in minority-serving colleges and universities in 10 states.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information, Alan Davidson, emphasized the importance of internet access in today’s world. “The Internet is essential for access to work, to education, to healthcare, and to justice,” he said. “Our Connecting Minority Communities program is about equipping students and the surrounding communities with the skills, the devices, and the capacity needed to reap the full benefits of our digital economy.”

These resources will improve access to technology for our students and surrounding community, ultimately promoting greater success and equity in the digital age. Article written by Yeda Arscott, PMP, AVP Director of Facilities & Program Management

Sustaining Lion Pride

The warm Spring weather meant our Garden Club was hard at work, growing a variety of herbs, vegetables, and other plants. Inside the Ivory V. Nelson Center for the Sciences, they grew sweet potatoes, chickpeas, cucumbers, broccoli, tomatoes, and bell peppers – all of which will, eventually, be moved to the garden outside. The Growing Project is just one example of Lincoln’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.

The actions we take and choices we make today not only help to build a greener and more beautiful campus for current students, but protect and preserve it for the Lions of tomorrow. Sustainability is so much bigger than gardening and recycling – though doing our part to effectively reduce waste is certainly important, too!

We take pride in our responsible stewardship of this beautiful campus and our efforts to instill in all students values and skills that will lead to a cleaner, safer, more equitable planet.

Dr. Anna Hull, Professor and Chair of the Biology Department, says that the Board has voted to move ahead on building a solar farm at Lincoln. “That will provide opportunities for students to be out in the field, learning about how solar panels work, how they feed into the overall economy and energy infrastructure; it could even be another piece of the Sustainability curriculum.”

Through a grant from the National Science Foundation, Lincoln is building a minor in Sustainability, using those concepts in other fields of study. High tunnels, a NASA-funded grant project, has broken ground in two green houses near the Nelson Science Center. Students will help advance concepts that will improve sustainability on earth and for future space projects.

Through strategic partnerships with such organizations as the United States Forest Service, the Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 in Philadelphia, the National Science Foundation, and Think & Grow Solutions, students have opportunities for handson experience that can lead to internships and employment opportunities.

In addition to the Gardening Club, various committees and clubs have formed over the years to make green recommendations for infrastructure, facilities, equitable access to green spaces, and student enrichment. Taking pride in our shared future helps to ensure a responsible, welcoming place to learn and return as alumni. Sustainability has a wide range of applications and implications, and we all benefit from the lessons Lions will learn – and the advances we stand to make as a result.

There is more work to be done! As students, faculty, and administration come and go, Lincoln is in constant need of passionate advocates who will continue to advance the cause of sustainability and build on the work that has been started!

Open Spaces Create Opportunity

this land has been acquired through racist and sexist land grabs and we hope to use this data as an outlet for reparations to pay back BIPOC folks in the form of joy and pleasure on historically white public spaces. Through a current partnership with Longwood Gardens and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) we also look to use this data to create a curriculum for natural land leaders to listen, learn, and change how many people of color experience the outdoors.

What is “Sustainability?”

Sustainability is often used as an umbrella term, but its vagueness can be limiting. In our work in Human Services here at Lincoln University we are currently studying how to create healing, reciprocal, and regenerating relationships with our natural systems. My students and I believe the study of sustainability must always include an exploration of the labor and life of people that have been exploited in the name of “progress” on shared land.

My students are curious about the social lens of ecology and how power and privilege shape our current relationship to the natural world. We began this work through an Arthur Vining Davis Grant on Black Sovereignty, using our Black Panther Newsletter archives here at the Langston Hughes Library. Research student Makyia Jones (Junior, Human Services) said it best when describing Black food sovereignty as “a tool for cultural memory keeping, deep connection with the land, and strength for transformative justice.” In this student-driven project our students studied the role of Black food as a form of resilience, and resistance to oppressive systems. Their work was displayed at the Street Road Artists Spacea local art gallery in Chester County. The students called this project the Roots of Resistance. In this show students celebrated parallels between Black food movements and their own families’ intergenerational food traditions and rituals.

More currently our student research team is exploring how Black and Indigenous communities experience joy and pleasure on shared land and open spaces. Much of

In April a group of Lincoln students did field work at Longwood Gardens. Each student documented what brought them joy and pleasure outdoors and through their Instagram posts. This data will be used to help Longwood welcome more Lincoln students, support a sense of belonging on its grounds, and encourage more experiences of joy and belonging at this local, often untapped natural resource. Questions students hope to answer for Longwood include 1) What makes us feel safe here? 2) What brings me joy in this open space? 3) How can I share this with my community?

4) How have labor and lived experiences of Black and Indigenous people of color in this space contributed to my pleasure on this land?

Our work has been supported by the National Science Foundation and through partnerships with the Environmental Protection Agency, Longwood Gardens, US Forest Service, and the Cultural Heritage Program of the US Department of Agriculture.

Innovative Programs

SIMBAA

SIMBAA, the regal Swahili word for “lion,” roared onto Lincoln University’s campus in 2006 with a strong vision. Led by two renowned professorsDavid Amadio and the late William Adams - SIIMBA was created to honor such influential writers as Langston Hughes and Gil Scott-Heron through an annual publication of poetry, fiction, essays, art, and photography that celebrates Black student experiences often overlooked or ignored by mainstream media sources. A keepsake for contributors and readers alike, this iconic symbol has become part of America’s first degree-granting HBCU legacy – relentlessly promoting underrepresented voices within the Black community since its creation. A keepsake for contributors and readers alike, each annual edition continues to preserve marginalized voices proudly.

Coursera

Lincoln University is excited to announce a new partnership with Coursera. This central online learning platform offers learners access to courses from top universities and corporations worldwide. Through Career Academy, students can embark on a career path that aligns with their goals, gain valuable skills, and receive guidance from such industry leaders as Google and IBM. This program is a game-changer, enabling students to earn professional certificates that signify their job readiness for entry-level work. At Lincoln University, we are committed to providing our students with the resources they need to succeed, and with this partnership, we’re doing just that. Courses are available to current students at no extra cost; however, our Alumni package offers all Lincoln alumni a unique opportunity to continue growing even after graduation.

“It started as a small publication but is now the universityʼs official Magazine of the Arts. We publish every spring, and students lead the project. They choose the cover art, the featured poetry, fictional pieces, essays, and art. For students to participate in this, I teach a literary magazine course that helps them put it together. Itʼs like an internship with community outreach, magazine promotion, and submissions. I act as editor-in-chief, but the students take handson leadership roles: curate, edit, design, and distribute the magazine. Iʼm proud of our work; SIMBAA has become one of the cornerstones of my departmentʼs Creative Writing track.

-David Amadio (co-founder)

Leading Cross-Cultural Collaboration in Higher Education

In February, Lincoln University and Gratz College hosted a thought-provoking event in honor of Black History Month, titled “A Conversation About Black and Jewish Identities.” The panel featured three esteemed academics, including Dr. Brenda Allen, President of Lincoln University; Dr. Zev Eleff, President of Gratz College; and Dr. Shelly LaPrince, a member of the Gratz Board of Governors. Together, they delved into the complexities of identity, exploring the intersections of Black and Jewish identities and their relationship to broader human experiences.

Throughout the conversation, the panelists emphasized the importance of recognizing the multi-dimensional nature of identity. As Dr. Allen aptly noted, “identities are part of our

humanity.” However, she also cautioned against allowing others to define us solely based on a singular aspect of our identity. “Resist allowing people to put you in a box,” she urged, recognizing the limitations of such reductive thinking.

Dr. Eleff echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the power of embracing all aspects of our identity, regardless of whether they are part of the mainstream. “The real struggle is complacency,” he noted. “There is opportunity to come from the margins and influence the mainstream.” This sentiment speaks to the importance of recognizing the value of diverse perspectives, and the role they can play in shaping and challenging dominant narratives.

Dr. LaPrince brought a practical lens to the conversation, highlighting the importance of promoting diversity and inclusion for future generations. “How can we be just in our actions and thoughts? How can we promote and advocate for an environment of diversity and inclusion for our children?” she asked. These questions speak to the broader societal implications of identity and the importance of creating spaces that allow individuals from diverse backgrounds to thrive.

Overall, the panelists’ discussion of Black and Jewish identities highlighted the complexity of human experiences and the importance of embracing all aspects of our identities. We’re so grateful to have peers who join us in pushing these conversations forward.

Leader for the Third Year in a Row

Lincoln University was proud to have been named a Fulbright Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Institutional Leader for 2022. The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) recognized selected HBCUs’ strong engagement with the Fulbright Program, the U.S. government’s flagship international academic exchange program, for the third consecutive year. Fulbright HBCU Institutional Leaders demonstrated noteworthy support for Fulbright exchange participants during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years and promoted Fulbright program opportunities on campus.

The State Department announced the 19 Fulbright HBCU Institutional Leaders in September as HBCU leaders gathered for the White House Initiative on HBCUs National HBCU Week Conference, and Fulbright opportunities were highlighted in events such as the career and recruitment fair during this week.

Lions in the White House

Kyrah Paige is a remarkable student who had the opportunity to represent Lincoln University at the White House and interview Vice President Kamala Harris about the state of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Paige was chosen to participate in the event due to her outstanding academic achievements and leadership skills. During the interview, she asked the Vice President about her plans to support HBCUs and ensure their continued success. Paige’s insightful questions and impressive poise demonstrated her knowledge and passion for the important role that HBCUs play in higher education.

Her participation in this event not only showcases her individual success but also highlights the excellence of Lincoln University and its commitment to preparing students to be leaders in their communities.

Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium

On April 13, the Center for Undergraduate Research at Lincoln University hosted the sixth annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. This year’s symposium hosted the greatest turnout of student researchers to date, with 42 student presenters as well as multiple faculty members and two guest alumni from the Class of 1970 who participated in our round table discussion portion of the event. In step with President Allen’s strategic vision of a robust and diverse span of research topics to be presented annually, the topical areas of student research ranged from biology, chemistry, and related STEM fields to behavioral and social sciences, world literature, creative writing, and visual arts. This year’s first, second, and third place winners for best research presentations are as follows:

1st place - Lakya’h Young, Promoting the Lincoln Legacy through Design: A Student led Creative Agency

2nd place - Adebola Agboola and Alaythia Hepburn, Factor Recruitment to Replication Forks to Identify Predictive Biomarkers for Ovarian Cancer Treatment

3rd place - Anthony Duroc, In Vitro Investigation of Single – and Dual – Species Biofilm Formation of Respiratory Commensal Bacteria

The Center for Undergraduate Research congratulates these outstanding scholars who demonstrate what it truly means to learn, liberate, and to lead!

Writing Center Tutors Present at Mid-Atlantic Conference

In the spring, three Lincoln University students and Writing Center tutors, Bryana Lambert, Kyrah Page, and Tyra Mitchell, along with Dr. Samaa Gamie, had the opportunity to present their papers at the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Writing Center Association Conference at Byrn Mawr College in Pennsylvania.

Their panel, titled “Toward Promoting an Equitable, Nonracist, Raciolinguistically Diverse Writing Center Site and Method,” focused on the opportunities and challenges facing our HBCU Writing Center in promoting an equitable and raciolinguistically diverse writing center. They discussed the dynamics of tutoring in a translingual and diverse writing center, empathetic tutoring practices, the use of AAE in classrooms and tutoring spaces, pedagogies, and the tutoring needs of students with differing abilities.

Their presentation was well received, and they were invited by the Writing Center directors of the University of the District of Columbia to offer a tutortraining workshop for their student tutors. This is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our Writing Center tutors and their commitment to promoting equity and diversity in the writing center.

We pride ourselves on providing our students with opportunities to develop their skills and expertise in their chosen fields. We are thrilled to see our Writing Center tutors excel in their field and share their knowledge with others, and we look forward to seeing what they will accomplish in the future.

Congratulations to our President Dr. Brenda Allen for being selected as an honoree of City & State PA’s 2023 Higher Education 100! The list highlights leaders in higher education who helped their institutions thrive. We’re proud of Dr. Allen’s work to honor Lincoln’s past while looking forward to the future by focusing on student success.

Meet the new Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary

This fall, Lincoln University proudly welcomed Attorney Venus D. Boston as Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary. Boston came to Lincoln from Winston-Salem State University, where she served as Deputy Chief Legal Counsel and Adjunct Professor of Business Law in the College of Economics and Finance. Under her leadership and legal counsel, Boston was able to save WSSU nearly $650,000 in a settlement action.

A Captivating Debut Novel, “Rug Man”

Prof. David Amadio recently released his debut novel, “Rug Man,” which takes place in Delaware County. The story follows the work life of Frank “Ace” Renzetti, a carpet installer in Philadelphia’s Main Line, who takes on a peculiar job while approaching retirement age. The book is a humorous and honest portrayal of the workday world of an unassuming carpet installer. We’re proud to have such innovative leaders on our Lincoln team and look forward to seeing more of Prof. Amadio’s success!

“At Lincoln University, the culture of persistence starts with President Brenda Allen. For Allen’s leadership of the nation’s first degree-granting HBCU, she was named one of 2021’s Ten Most Dominant HBCU Leaders by the HBCU Campaign Fund.

At Lincoln, Boston oversees all of the University’s legal affairs and provides counsel on issues affecting various school-related policies and procedures. Her extensive experience in providing legal counsel for universities and community settings makes her the perfect fit for the job.

As the representative of the African American Affinity Group for the National Association of College and University Attorneys, Boston leads more than 120 African American attorneys. In 2016, she earned the Winston Under 40 Award for Outstanding Young Leaders in the Winston-Salem community as well as the NCCU 40 Under 40 Award.

Lead.

Lions Tear It Up This Season

The Lincoln University Athletics Department geared up for another successful season - and they did not disappoint. With a promising lineup of talented student-athletes and dedicated coaches, the Lions made a splash in the world of collegiate sports. Some highlights include:

Track and Field

Our proud tradition of excellence in track and field continued this year, with Glenn Butler, Jr. winning the silver medal in the long jump event and placing 12th in the high jump at the NCAA Indoor National Championships. Butler set a new personal record by reaching a distance of 7.70m in the long jump, placing him second to Pittsburg State’s Henry Kiner. He also gained a height of 2.04m in the high jump, tying for the 12th-best mark. On the Women’s Team, Anaeja Ferrell was a first-place finisher in both a field and a track event at the Seahawk Invitational, earning her the title of CIAA Track & Field Athlete Of The Week while leaping a personal-best distance of 5.34m.

Basketball

2022 Coach of the Year, Janice Washington of the women’s basketball team, noticed “something clicked for Lincoln in early January,” according to her amazing New York Times feature. In February, the team saw one last “vintage performance” from senior Kania Pollock, who helped clinch the Northern Division Championship for the second year in a row. Meanwhile, the men’s basketball program went where none had gone before, going from the Opening Round all the way to the CIAA Finals for the first time in 111 years. And we were incredibly proud to host the first-ever HBCU Gameday Classic back in November. In this epic faceoff against Cheyney University - appropriately dubbed “The Battle of The First” - our Lions prevailed.

With talented student-athletes and dedicated coaches, our teams have demonstrated their strong commitment to excellence both on and off the field, and they’re poised for continued success in the future. Go Lions!

Baseball & Softball

Our baseball program’s Sheldon Johnson was Lincoln’s first student-athlete to be named East Coast Conference Player of the Week after his torrid start to the season. The team then went on to beat one of the ECC’s top programs on the diamond, scoring seven runs in the final two innings to win game one over St. Thomas Aquinas, 8-4. Meanwhile, when our softball program swept the Big Blues of Bluefield State in March, they tied the team record for the most single-season wins in the school’s NCAA Division II era. And we’re incredibly proud that our softball team has excelled both on the field and in the classroom, as 12 student-athletes, accounting for 80% of the team, were honored on the Dean’s List for the Fall 2022 semester.

Football

It was a big year for football accolades: three times over the course of the 2022-23 season, a Lincoln University defensive back was honored by the CIAA. Then in February, we witnessed Kai Gray represent the Lions for the first time ever in the HBCU Legacy Bowl. According to the Bowl’s website, this “postseason all-star game showcases the best NFL draft-eligible football players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.”

Korey Williams also made history as the first Lincoln University Men’s Basketball player to be selected to play in an HBCU All-Star Game.”

Undergraduate Studies

Brianna Clifford

My experience here at Lincoln has been one of the most enlightening experiences that I believe will definitely have a lasting impact. I came in as a freshman in Fall 2020 during COVID. Before even coming to campus I always thought about what type of impact I wanted to leave, how I wanted to get involved, and how I wanted people to view me. I found out about the Campus Activities Board (CAB) during one of my orientation sessions and that’s when I knew that was something I wanted to be a part of. During that fall I joined the Cabateers program and that spring I was brought on to the team as Office Manager. The next year I was able to move up to Vice President, and I am currently the President of the Campus Activities Board. Being a part of the team has allowed me to see what it means to be a true student leader. CAB led me to get out of my comfort zone and try and go for something that freshman or sophomore me probably wouldn’t. I felt myself wanting to leave a bigger mark so I became one of the Lincoln Women of the Year for the 2023 - 2024 academic school year and I can’t wait to get started and impact Lincoln Women every day. I wanted to be Women of the Year because I believe students, especially women, need someone to inspire them. I want to be one of the people I looked up to when I first came to Lincoln for another student. When it comes to my academic success, I was

able to do all this while maintaining a GPA of 3.86. As well as having the opportunity, through the Psychology Department and the partnership Lincoln has with the Philadelphia Public Health Management Corporation, to participate in an internship involving research in Opioid Use Disorder. That then led me to apply and get accepted into the UPenn Summer program in Infectious Disease Research. I really can say as a freshman, I definitely didn’t think I would be able to pull any of this off or be one of Lincoln’s most genuine Student Leaders. It wouldn’t be possible without a support system including family, friends, Lincoln facility and staff for always pushing me to better myself and getting me out my comfort zone. This has been a long journey but it’s not over yet and I can’t wait to shock myself with what I do next.

Reanna Toon

My Lincoln Story has not always been all fun and smooth. I’ve had my dips, my bad days, and just times where I just wanted to give up, but I just had to stay strong. But the beauty of any journey you take in life is the positive outcome that you get out of any situation that you told yourself you could not get out of.

I was still at war with myself mentally, but I had to put it to the side for my job and the people relying on me. At this point, I just needed to get my act together. I started going to counseling, church, being more transparent about me needing help and instantly started seeing results. The light that was once in me started to come back out and I started feeling so much better about myself. I was able to repair not all, but some relationships with people and I just felt everything falling back into place again.

I began connecting with people from the chapel for support, gaining new positions on campus, continue living out my legacy as a CA, and helping to inspire people going through similar situations as me. I made events and programs to pour back into the community the same way the community has poured into me. Lincoln is so full of life from the support systems, the opportunities given to us daily, and how much staff genuinely tries to spread out the support evenly. Even though as a campus we are still a working art, what we have right now is a home that many students like me yearn for.

The biggest lesson that this year taught me is that it’s okay to not have everything together, stop stressing, and just live in the moment. What you need will come to you it’s just a matter of time of just preparing for when it comes. I will take what battles were bought to me this year and carry it through the rest of my life as the things that made me a better woman. Thank you Lincoln, for picking me up whenever I fell.

As a student at Lincoln University, I have had the privilege of being part of a diverse and welcoming community. The culture at LU is one that celebrates and embraces differences, creating a sense of belonging for all students. I have made lifelong friends from different backgrounds and cultures, which has broadened my perspective and challenged me to be a more openminded individual.

Apart from the inclusive culture, the experience at Lincoln University is unparalleled. The faculty and staff are committed to providing an excellent education and have created an environment that fosters academic

success. I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the most brilliant minds in my field, and the resources available have helped me achieve my academic goals.

Additionally, Lincoln University offers a wide range of extracurricular activities that cater to students’ interests.

From sports to cultural clubs, there is always something to do on campus. The events organized by the student body have been a highlight of my time at LU, and I have been proud to be part of a community that comes together to celebrate each other’s accomplishments.

School of Adult & Continuing Ed

constructive criticism has shaped me into the teacher I am today. I’ve met some fantastic friends over my time in Lincoln, and we have relied on one another for support through the program. Lincoln University is a fantastic institution, particularly the Masters of Education Program. They make everything available and respond to you quickly. I wholeheartedly urge everyone to enroll at Lincoln University!

Jayda Hubbard

It gives me joy to share information about my time at Lincoln with current, former, and prospective students. Lincoln has given me so many lessons and motivated me to develop my leadership abilities in addition to my desire to become a core teacher. I’ve made the decision to go to Temple University’s doctoral program in educational leadership in order to develop my leadership abilities. I found out via email two weeks ago that I had been accepted into the program. My heart was warmed by my professors’ encouragement. The professors are incredibly approachable and ready to help me with anything I need. I received an invitation to join the Kappa Delta Pi International Honor Society in Education’s Tau Zeta Chapter at Lincoln University during my first year of graduate school. Additionally, I was requested to serve as the chapter’s president, and as such, it was my responsibility to ensure that the chapter was in good order. My instructors’

David L. Banks

I am David L. Banks, an adult learner completing graduate course work at Lincoln University’s School of Adult & Continuing Education. I am proud of the academic success I have enjoyed so far at Lincoln. Prior to my admission to Lincoln University I questioned my ability to achieve success after being out of school for a longer period than I had intended. I completed my bachelor’s degree at the former Clarion University of Pennsylvania majoring in Sociology in December of 2010.

I am most proud of my perseverance with my studies. I currently have full time employment, part time employment and I am a full-time graduate student at Lincoln.

I have benefited most greatly from the support of all the faculty and staff at Lincoln’s adult education center.

With a master’s degree in human services from Lincoln I have an opportunity to achieve new heights both personally and professionally.

When I first arrived at Lincoln, I was so inspired to see professors that looked like me, that saw my potential even at times when I struggled to see my own potential.

I am most inspired by my late grandmother who raised me and my older siblings. I am inspired by her unselfish example to share love. I intentionally share that love with everyone around me just as I was taught. There is nothing like the love students receive from Lincoln University.

Lincoln’s model is something that I have adopted as my own, My purpose and pleasure is to “Learn, Liberate & Lead.

I began working at a daycare facility and a young lady said let’s enroll at Lincoln. I had reservations about going to a HBCU. I was so happy that I am part of the family. I became a walking billboard for our school. I have my students thinking about attending Lincoln University as a college of interest. They love the representation and hard work that is instilled in their lives because of the education I received from Lincoln.”

There are two ways to think about your Lincoln University Annual Gift

The Lincoln Fund is our university annual fund. Unrestricted gifts of any size that are received in a fiscal year are counted toward the Lincoln Fund. These funds help to support many areas of the university, especially where they are needed most.

The 1854 Promise Fund is the leadership level of the Lincoln Fund and requires donors to give an unrestricted gift of at least $1,854 in any given year to invest in Lincoln University’s ongoing success.

Donors are recognized through the Lincoln Society. The Lincoln Society acknowledges gifts given in a single fiscal year, regardless of designation (unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted.)

Hold fast to your dreams, for without them life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.

– Langston Hughes

2026 Endowment by Major General (Dr.) Roosevelt and Rosalind Allen Highlights Study in Education and Science

Lincoln University alumni Maj. Gen. (Dr.) Roosevelt Allen (Class of ’82) and his wife, Rosalind, longtime donors to the school, incorporated some unique aspects when establishing their most recent endowment.

First, the Maj Gen (Dr.) Roosevelt and Rosalind Smith Allen Scholarship will award two student scholarships in 2026: one in the field of education, the other in science. These reflect the Allens’ personal career paths – Dr. Allen as a major medical voice in both the U.S. military and corporate leadership, and Rosalind Allen as a longtime educator in the public school system. The other was the required applicant GPA: 3.0.

The Allens came to this requirement decision very thoughtfully. They believe students with higher GPAs will always find resources, so they wanted to give a boost to those just as capable but who perhaps learn differently in an academic setting.

As Dr. Allen says, “As we move forward in this country, it’s essential that we nurture the brightest

minds in the crucial areas of education and science to adapt and develop technologies that play such a huge role in our world today and will even more in the future.”

The Allens also believe education plays a vital role in a person’s development, that it is a basic foundation that forms what a person will become and that teachers play a critical role in the success and accomplishments of all of us.

Embracing Lincolnʼs Legacy of ‘Being the First ʼ

Paving the way as a forward-thinking leader is not new for Dr. Allen. He came to Lincoln to follow in the footsteps of Thurgood Marshall, the country’s first African-American Supreme Court justice.

While he eventually changed his major from law to science, Dr. Allen embraced Lincoln’s legacy of “being the first.” He was the first African-American to serve as the director of healthcare operations and research for the U.S. Air Force; the first AfricanAmerican in the U.S. military to serve as chief of the Dental Corps, and the first African-American to lead a major U.S. insurance carrier (United Concordia) as chief dental officer.

“It was challenging being the only one in the room that was different, but exposure is important to showing that it’s about talent, not the color of your skin,” he says. “I want others to feel comfortable with different people in these kinds of positions. Our scholarships help that.”
