If you are a proud Lincoln Lion then your chance to reunite with friends, classmates, and new friends is coming up from May 21st to May 23rd.

The first degree-granting HBCU in the country is nestled right in Chester County. If you’re an alumnus this is your chance to give back, get back to campus, and enjoy the festivities.

For more information, you can head over to the alumni page on their website, and find out how to register for their amazing events. The highlight is sure to be the reflections from May 1970 to May 2020 with Angela M. Davis, a member of the class of 70.

Below we’ll share some thoughts from Deborah E. Johnson MAHS M’15.

“Some of the reunion and emeritus classes have already begun the campaign to raise funds and have an impact in honor of the “ Old Orange and Blue.” Your determination and commitment are evident in funds already raised by the classes of 5’s and 0’s and 6’s and 1’s, which benefit the university and our students. 

In the next few weeks, we will provide a schedule of Reunion Class Representative conference calls as well as other collateral materials and the Lincoln University Class Reunion Handbook. In addition, we will offer virtual alternatives to our traditional reunion celebration in case of ongoing health concerns.

Please forward your contact information for class representative inclusion and updates.”

If you’re interested be sure to contact Alumni Relations for some more information and get ready to have a great time, just like back in your Lincoln Lion days!
