Message from the President: Thanksgiving 2025

Message from Lincoln University of Missouri President Dr. John B. Moseley, sent on November 21, 2025.

Dear Blue Tiger Family,

On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to pause and celebrate all the ways our Lincoln University community continues to inspire and uplift one another.

Today is a time to reflect on what we are grateful for — and I am profoundly thankful for each of you. Your energy, dedication and unwavering commitment make this University more than just a place of learning; you make it a family.

This year has reminded us of the power of community. Across campus, I have seen students embracing challenges with determination, faculty and staff guiding and mentoring with care, and alumni engaging with generosity and pride. Every effort, every success and every act of support contribute to the vibrant spirit that defines Lincoln University.

To our students: your curiosity, creativity and resilience are at the heart of everything we do. You bring life to our classrooms, laboratories, studios and athletic fields, and you inspire all of us to be better, reach higher and dream bigger.

To our faculty and staff: your guidance, expertise and care ensure that every student has the support they need to succeed. Your dedication strengthens the University in countless ways and embodies the true meaning of service and leadership.

To our alumni: your ongoing involvement, encouragement and pride help build bridges between generations. Lincoln University thrives because of your continued connection, and we are grateful for the legacy you help preserve and the future you help shape.

As we gather with loved ones today, I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with joy, reflection and warmth. Let us also remember those in our community who may be facing challenges and extend a hand of kindness whenever we can.

From my family to yours, Crystal, Jillian and I send our sincere wishes for a happy, safe and memorable Thanksgiving. Thank you for all that you do to make Lincoln University a place of excellence, opportunity and pride.

With gratitude and warmest wishes,

John B. Moseley, EdD
President
