It’s official! 🎉

After nearly eight months of leading as interim, it was announced in January that Dr. John Moseley would serve as Lincoln University’s 21st President.

Upon hearing the good news, the Warren County native made the following statement:

I am humbled to serve the students, faculty and alumni of Lincoln University in this role. This University has always helped students achieve their dreams.

I am grateful to be part of a team working together to accomplish that aim, providing financial, academic and social resources.

The need for what Lincoln University provides has never been more important and we will continue to address every challenge to better serve our students and the community.

Moseley’s commitment to the Lincoln U, a historically Black public university is undeniable.

With nearly 20 years of higher education experience, including 13 years at Historically Black College or University (HBCU) campuses on his resume, he has proven to be more than equipped to take on the presidential helm.

Since the start of his interim tenure in May 2021, he:

* Led key initiatives to improve Lincoln University’s enrollment through new, data-driven admissions strategies and the restructuring of scholarship programs;

* Implemented initiatives to improve student outcomes, such as Lincoln’s new Student Success Center;

* Influenced approximately $6.6 million in private donation commitments to the University;

* Initiated relationships with new key educational and scholarship partners for the University; and

* Cultivated and strengthened relationships between the University and alumni, faculty, staff, students, state and federal partners.

Before becoming LU President, Moseley graduated from Warren County High School from the illustrious class of 1994 and attended East Carolina University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science in 1998 and his Master of Arts in Education in 1999.

In Spring of 2021, Moseley completed his Doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis at the University of Missouri.

Currently, he’s leading fundraising efforts for the Lincoln University Health Sciences and Crisis Center, which will expand the University’s School of Nursing and house a Security Sciences Institute, complementing the Lincoln University Law Enforcement Training Academy and criminal justice program.

Joining him in his celebration is his wife, Dr. Crystal C. Moseley and their daughter, Jillian.

Congratulations, Dr. John Moseley!
