The Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Morris ‘63 cares deeply, and has given greatly, to two of the things he is most passionate about: the civil rights movement and Lincoln University. 

A proud member of Beta Chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity, he still fondly remembers his time at Lincoln, which awarded him an honorary LL.D. degree in 1992. To underscore his dedication to Lincoln and its mission, he is a member of the University’s 1854 Society as well as the Lincoln Society.

As we strive to stimulate excitement for Homecoming Weekend and anticipate the enthusiasm of families and friends returning to the campus of our Dear Ol’ Lincoln, we are pleased to share the following highlights. Homecoming will offer many opportunities to engage, network, celebrate, and share experiences. Alumni will partake in roaring football banter, gather to make decisions about the future state of Lincoln alumni, and memorialize those Lions who have gone to rest eternally with our ancestors during our annual worship services. 

The expression “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” attributed to management guru Peter Drucker, reflects an understanding that organizational culture has the ability to undermine the most brilliant and well-conceived strategy if the two are not aligned. Lincoln University has built its reputation as an institution committed to “educating and empowering students to lead their communities and change the world.” The University’s ability to achieve its mission, to differentiate its brand, and to protect its reputation are all dependent on having a culture that supports its goals.

 “At Lincoln University, student success is intentional.” – Dr. Lenetta Lee ’85, dean of the college and vice president for student success.
