Lincoln University Kicks Off 150th Anniversary Celebration
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.
More than 600 students, faculty, administrators, staff, local officials and visitors helped kick off Lincoln University’s 150th anniversary celebration last month. The historically Black university was founded in 1854 and has graduated more than 14,000 young men and women.
“Today, with a solid foundation, unprecedented support from our graduates, and great aspirations, we begin a yearlong celebration recognizing the contributions of those who have made this day possible,” said Lincoln President Ivory Nelson, marking the occasion.
“If our future looks bright, it is because of the dedication and hard work of so many who are with us today and so many who have come before — educators, alumni, and friends of this university,” Nelson said.
