SGA President

Message from the SGA President

Greetings Lincoln Family!

My name is Jayla Ross and I humbly serve as the 2021-2022 SGA Executive President under the Power Administration. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA—the birthplace of civil rights—I am passionate about creating monumental changes through advocacy. Within my term, my board and I will continue the legacy of student empowerment in our home we call Lincoln University.

“There is power in the first '' is the foundation of my initiatives, decisions, and actions to ensure students are heard in all aspects of their college lives. Lincoln has been a place where I have gained life-changing opportunities and my goal is to ensure others share this same token of appreciation for our institute! As an administration, we abide by our Ten Point Plan that outlines the demands we know puts students first and ultimately achieve this goal.

I am excited to not only serve as an elected official but to become the classmate, confidant, and comrade we all appreciate throughout our college careers. See you around!

In Orange and Blue Spirit,

Jayla Ross
