LINCOLN UNIVERSITY – The hard work and dedication by LU students finally came to fruition during the spring 2024 commencement ceremony held in Mitchell Auditorium on Saturday, May 11, 2024. Three ceremonies were held throughout the day, with agriculture, humanities and communication, STEM, social sciences, and liberal studies students graduating at the 9 a.m. commencement.
The School of Business, education, and nursing held their commencement in the afternoon.
Dr. Stevie Lawrence II, LU’s provost and vice-president for Academic Affairs, presided over the commencement. President John Moseley greeted the large crowd and Dr. Shaun Harper gave the commencement address.
Harper, a professor at USC, provided a positive message centered on imagination. He challenged the graduates to imagine a world where they can be anything and everything. College graduates can achieve great things in life, but they have to imagine that they can actually do it – because they can, he said. Harper noted that his background might be similar to some of the graduates. You can do anything, but you have to imagine that you can, he said.
Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
