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. View the full Homecoming Parade recording below. 

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

On Friday, campus buzzed with activity — from the Slim & Husky’s grand opening and the Blueprint Family Reunion Block Party to the Florene C. Dawkins Art Collective Exhibit II and the Centennial Masked Ball, which supported student scholarships.
