The Lincoln Legacy Experience (LLE) is a graduation requirement for all first-year students starting in Fall 2024. It's designed to enhance student success by fostering a collaborative community and offering co-curricular programming. The program includes three pathways: Foundational Knowledge for first year students, Exploration for second year students, and Professional Preparation for third and fourth year students.
The Majors on the U is a collaborative fall semester event that provides a unique opportunity for students to connect with faculty, alumni, and the Student Success team to discuss their majors, career interests, and explore co-curricular opportunities within their academic disciplines.
Senior Salute is a two-day event held in the spring semester. Key campus offices are available in one convenient location to assist graduating seniors with all their final preparations. Lincoln University salutes our seniors as they embark on their future.
Majors Declarations Day is a spring semester event designed for first-year and undecided students to help them explore their options and officially declare a major. Students will walk through the declaration process and celebrate this exciting step in their college journey.
