At Lincoln University, we challenge you and push you to be your best. But we also celebrate your achievements, and there's no celebration quite like our annual commencement ceremony.
Featuring renowned speakers offering their wisdom and advice, the commencement ceremony is a testament to your achievement as a graduate of Lincoln University. It's your chance to take stock of all you've accomplished during your time here before you embark on the next chapter of your life.
And what a chapter that will be! As a graduate of Lincoln, you'll join the ranks of thousands of other Lincoln graduates around the world who have started influential careers in medicine, law, politics, entertainment, the arts, and beyond. You'll put the skills and knowledge you acquired at Lincoln to work to begin a career or pursue further study. You'll be ready to make your mark on the world and take your place as a new standard-bearer for Lincoln's long history of achievement and impact.
But all that can wait. Commencement comes first. Register with the Office of the Registrar to ensure you're eligible for graduation and included in the ceremony, then take a moment to stand proud and savor your achievement. You've earned it.
