LU-Rise Program

The LU-RISE program is a summer intensive enrichment experience offered in a 5-week program, providing students with academic skills and empowering opportunities.  The program will allow students get a head start on their academic coursework while residing on Main campus. Along with their weekday coursework, there will be enrichment opportunities provided some evenings and weekends. LU-RISE's goal is to have students enter their freshman year with not only knowledge of Lincoln University but equipped with at least 6-8 academic credits enabling them to have a jumpstart on the Fall semester. The program will include:
  • Tutoring and Peer-Mentoring
  • Coaching in skills pertinent for college success
  • A thorough introduction to adapting to college life
  • Enrollment in courses specific to students' academic needs

Tutoring and Peer Mentoring

Tutoring and Peer Mentoring involves guiding students with the skills they need to succeed in their academic journey. Skills that will be strengthened will include note taking, time management and test preparation. The goal of tutoring and peer mentoring is to assist students with establishing goals and timelines that break their assignments and projects down into smaller units. Also, it. will help students determine what material they will need to study for quizzes or tests and practice answering anticipated questions.
