Lincoln University of Missouri extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for the Centennial Homecoming Celebration, held October 26 through November 1, 2025. This historic week honored 100 years of Blue Tiger pride, unity and tradition — and it was made special by the participation and support of our students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community.

A highlight of the 100th celebration included the Mister and Miss Lincoln University Coronation, which brought elegance and tradition to campus.
