Lincoln University of Missouri is proud to announce the establishment of a new alumni mentorship initiative aimed at connecting current students with alumni mentors. This program, facilitated in partnership with Mentor Collective, seeks to enhance career readiness and support the professional development of Lincoln’s students.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for us to continue our collaborative efforts to partner with initiatives such as the Mentor Collective to further increase our connectivity with students and alumni,” said Dr. Grant Winrow, Lincoln University’s vice president for university advancement. “It’s essential in preparing our students for success in the workforce and showing them that we care about their growth and future.”

Lincoln University’s residential student population, predominantly African American and students of color, has expressed a strong desire for mentors who can relate to their unique experiences and challenges. Additionally, many alumni have reached out, eager to support current Blue Tigers as they navigate their educational journeys and prepare for successful careers after graduation. Lincoln University leadership recognizes this as an opportunity to engage alumni in making a meaningful impact on the lives of future generations of Lincolnites.
