My school is best known for being an HBCU, founded by the 62nd and 65th Colored Infantry. Lincoln has a rich hisory, full of success and honor, but unfortunately over the years its positive reputation has dwindled. The school itself isn't bad, it's just that the stigma it carries often times over shadows the real beauty my school beholds.

When people think of Lincoln they see us for our historical background, our achievements, ranking for our Nursing pograms and being known for being a Historical Black College. Even though we are an HBCU we are embracing, very diverse, helpful as far as leaving no one behind and we strive for improvement for the next great thing to come. We truely are a uplifting, motivating, yet fun school. There are many organizations that any student can get involved in and we focus not only on- on campus downfalls but public as well. We're known best for our support.
