Career Development

MISSION

The Office of Career Development helps students and recent graduates of Lincoln University to identify and implement a strategy to fulfill their personal and professional career goals. We serve as the bridge between their college experience and employment or graduate school, connecting students with the resources, people, organizations and opportunities that will enable them to bring their career goals to fruition and become socially responsible citizens.
