The Alumni Association of Lincoln University, Inc. has been around since 1872. Obviously we have maintained support and relevance down through a number of great generations to today. Lincoln greats like Langston Hughes and Thurgood Marshall felt that membership were so important in our organization that they took the time out of busy and august activities and careers to serve as National Officers!

We believe that the primary benefit of being a member is that your demonstrated commitment through paying your dues annually of for a lifetime is a validation of the value of the education and experience you had at Lincoln University. Further, we believe that your membership is a demonstration of the faith and active support of your fellow alumni in the fulfillment of a role that only we can play in the health and vitality of an institution that has proven vital to our community, the nation and even the world.

Finally, we the leaders of the AALU believe that a core benefit of your membership is the demonstrated trust that we and all alumni who LOVE LINCOLN will continue to support our alma mater actively, responsibly and in an organized and systematic way. Hail, Hail Lincoln!
