Every two years during the summer, the Association hosts a National Alumni Convention at a location and time selected by the Board of Directors. The date, time, and venue for these conventions will be announced to all alumni, associates, and friends at least six months in advance. The National Alumni Convention provides an opportunity for the Board of Directors and the House of Delegates to gather and discuss the Association’s business.

The 2023 National Convention took place at the prestigious Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri, and was a huge success. Notably, the Association achieved a net profit of over $22,000 for the first time in more than twenty years. This accomplishment allowed the Association to combine the profit with the National Student Scholarship fund, leading to over $150,000 in scholarships awarded to students in financial need attending Lincoln University over the past three years. We are excited about the possibility of creating more meaningful moments in the future.
Looking ahead, the 2025 National Alumni Association Convention is planned to take place at the St. Louis Hilton Airport Hotel in St. Louis, Missouri, from July 26-29, 2025. The convention will include a variety of activities such as meet-and-greets, happy hours, raffles, business meetings, a distinguished alumni luncheon, a hall of fame banquet, and a memorial breakfast. We look forward to your participation in the event!
