Message from the President: 2025 State of the University Report

This year’s fall 2025 State of the University report reflects the steady momentum we continue to build together. Enrollment is growing, retention has reached a 30-year high, and our students are achieving at higher levels, with increases in GPA averages and Dean’s List participation. These results are not accidental—they are the product of focused efforts by our faculty and staff and initiatives such as University College that support students from their first day through graduation.

As an HBCU and 1890 land-grant institution, Lincoln University’s mission remains deeply rooted in access, opportunity, and transformation. We are strengthening that mission through investments in academic programs and campus spaces, including the renovation of Dawson Hall and progress toward the Health & Security Sciences Institute. I invite you to explore this report and see how your work, engagement, and support continue to shape Lincoln University’s future.

With Blue Tiger Pride,
John B. Moseley, EdD
President
