The Renaissance Gala is Lincoln University's premier Centennial Homecoming celebration — an elegant evening uniting alumni, corporate leaders, philanthropists, civic leaders, and champions of Black excellence to honor the legacy, impact, and future of the first degree-granting HBCU.
Inspired by Lincoln's historic role as the Blueprint of Black Excellence, the gala's purpose is to support scholarships, co-curricular experiences, and career development for the next cohort of global leaders. Proceeds will directly strengthen student access, experiential learning, leadership development, internships, networking, and transformative programming that expands the Lincoln legacy for generations to come.
The evening will highlight current students showcasing their knowledge, skills, and passions, and recognize distinguished alumni and visionary leaders whose contributions have transformed society, while welcoming special guests for a night of culture, philanthropy, and purpose that reinforces Lincoln University's influence throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.
