Office of The President

You have found your way to the Lincoln University website , and whether this is your first stop here or you have been here numerous times, we hope you will stay awhile- both online and in person.  Lincoln University was founded in 1866 as the portal to a new life for freed African Americans. Today, our population is much more diverse, but the opportunities that await you with an education from Lincoln University are just as exciting and endless as they were more than 150 years ago. 

The landscape of higher education is evolving, but one thing that does not change is our mission to provide a quality education in a student-centered environment.  The students are the foundation of the Lincoln family, with the faculty, staff and the administration serving in our roles to provide the nurturing they need during their enrollment.  The bonds are not broken with the completion of a degree, but grow even stronger as they are welcomed into the ranks of Lincoln University alumni around the world. 

I am happy you have chosen to visit our website.  I am hopeful you will find that the collegiate experience you want begins within these pages.  This is Lincoln. 

Michael A. Middleton
Interim President
