LINCOLN UNIVERSITY – The new University College academic center officially opened during a ribbon cutting held Monday morning, April 11, in Page Library. University College offers an array of academic resources and support services to aid incoming freshmen, sophomores, and transfers to become more successful throughout their university experience.

The University College, located on the ground floor of the library, assists students in identifying their educational and career aspirations from the outset and empowers them to make the most of their academic undergraduate experience.  All students are welcome to use the services, including advising, degree plans, tutoring, and more.

The departments under University College include the Academic Success Center, Undergrad Research, Student Leadership, Civic Engagement, and Study Abroad. The University College is currently hiring a dean to supervise the program. Lincoln’s purpose for implementing the new University College is to supply a proven tool to increase retention.
