About the University

S

its founding in 1854, Lincoln University, the nation’s first degree-granting Historically Black University, has had an internationally recognized commitment to excellence in scholarship and service. Lincoln University graduates have distinguished themselves in many fields including medicine, science, theology, education, law, and the arts. In addition to our more visible graduates – Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall ’30, poet and playwright Langston Hughes ’29, the first president of Nigeria, Nnamdi Azikiwe ’30, and the first president of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah ‘39 - Lincoln University and its graduates have achieved the following additional distinctions: participated in the founding of eight universities in the United States and abroad, created the organization (Crossroads Africa) which served as the model for the U.S. Peace Corps, and published the first Alumni Magazine of any college or university (1884). Lincoln graduates also include the first African American bishop of the United Methodist Church, Roy C. Nichols ’41, and the first African American female rear admiral in the U.S. Navy, Lillian Fishburne ’71. The University’s beginnings can be traced back with recognition to its founder, Presbyterian Minister John Miller Dickey, his wife, Sarah Emlen Cresson, and the first two students - James Ralston Amos and his brother, Thomas H. Amos. Lincoln University was initially chartered as Ashmun Institute in honor of Jehudi Ashmun, the first governor of Liberia, and renamed Lincoln University in 1866 after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Since its inception, Lincoln has attracted an interracial and international enrollment from the surrounding community and region, and around the world. The University admitted women students in 1952, and formally associated with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1972 as a state-related, coeducational university. A total of 15,500 students have graduated from Lincoln since its founding in 1854. Lincoln University has had 12 presidents that have made distinctive and significant contributions to the institution’s growth and development. They include Dickey (1853-78); John Pym Carter (1856-61); John Wynne Martin (1861-65); Isaac Norton Rendall (1856-1906); John Ballard Rendall (190624); William Hallock Johnson (1926-36); Walter Livingston Wright (1924-26; 1936-45); Horace Mann Bond (1945-57); Marvin Wachman (1962-69); Herman Russell Branson (1970-85); Niara Sudarkasa (1987-98) and Ivory V. Nelson (1999-present). Accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, Lincoln University offers forty (40) academic majors, six (6) pre-professional programs, and five (5) graduate programs to 2,450 students from 24 states and 35 foreign countries. The University has five programs of excellence in Sciences (Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics and Environmental Science), Teacher Education, Business and Technology (Accounting and Finance), Mass Communications and the Lincoln-Barnes Center of Excellence in Visual Arts. Currently, Lincoln University is one of the nation’s largest producers of African Americans with baccalaureate degrees in the physical sciences, computer and information sciences, and biological and life sciences. More than 25 percent of its undergraduate degrees awarded are in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. In addition, Lincoln University has the distinction of having 25 of its chemistry graduates (1989 to ince

2004) to earn Ph.D. degrees in chemistry and related fields. Under Ivory Nelson’s presidency, the Board of Trustees approved changes that redefined the core curriculum and curriculum structure to keep pace with the ever changing face of higher education and prepare Lincoln’s students for success in graduate and professional studies and high potential career aspirations. Currently, Lincoln University is one of the nation’s largest producers of African Americans with baccalaureate degrees in the physical sciences, computer and information sciences, and biological and life sciences. More than 25 percent of its undergraduate degrees awarded are in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science. In addition, Lincoln University has the distinction of having 25 of its chemistry graduates (1989 to 2004) to earn Ph.D. degrees in chemistry and related fields. Lincoln University’s historic campus is located on 422 acres in southern Chester County, Pennsylvania. Lincoln also operates a 200,000 square foot Center for Graduate Studies and Continuing Education in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2000, the University began massive programmatic and physical plant upgrades. In the eight years that followed, Lincoln University secured $275 million to enhance the physical facilities and redesign the campus’ infrastructure. These funds allowed the University to construct a new High-Tech Science and General Classroom Building as well as a state-of-the-art International Cultural Center. In addition to new construction, several major renovation projects of the University’s existing buildings were undertaken, including Ware Center, University Hall, Grim Hall, Wright Hall, the Langston Hughes Memorial Library, the Student Union Building and the University’s Center for Graduate and Continuing Education in Philadelphia. It was also during this time that Lincoln achieved its first ever investment grade rating (A-3 rating from Moody’s Investor’s Service) that resulted in the sale of $40 million in bonds to construct a new 409-bed, air-conditioned residence hall to house its students. In April of 2006, Lincoln University continued its commitment to enhance the quality education and campus life experience for its student body, with the reinstatement of a football program and marching band to commence in fall 2008. The proposed move from Division III to Division II in 2006 also required the addition of a women’s softball team to the athletic offerings. In recent years, Lincoln has provided its male and female students the opportunity to participate in collegiate competition in baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, track, cross country and volleyball. The Lincoln University track and field athletes have compiled an outstanding record of achievement in NCAA competition, capturing a total of 17 men’s and women’s national championships. In celebrating Lincoln University’s historic past and promising future, we recognize and honor Lincoln’s three historic purposes: 1. To teach honestly, and without fear of censure, what humankind has painfully and persistently learned about the environment and its people. 2. To preserve this knowledge for the future. 3. To add to this store of knowledge. Lincoln University remains committed to preserving its distinction as an intellectual and cultural resource.

Academic affairs The Academic Affairs division has a core mission of sustaining a nurturing learning environment capable of transforming its learners into academic achievers, professional contributors, and leaders in their fields of interest. The academic year brought continued progress in Lincoln University’s commitment to produce the caliber of graduates who can thrive in the culturally diverse, technological and global society in which they will live and work. The division is proud of its enduring legacy of outstanding teaching and mentoring of a wide cross-section of students. Approximately 2300 from within the United States and 100 from international origins. The university welcomed the class of 2010, the first freshmen cohort to study under a new, more academically rigorous undergraduate curriculum with its more compact, interdisciplinary core. The revised curriculum enhances the recently established five Centers of Excellence, including the new Lincoln-Barnes Visual Arts major in the School of Humanities and Graduate Studies. With selected minor concentrations in Museum and Collections Studies, Museum Education, Museum Communications and Professional Studio, the Barnes partnership seeks to create leaders in the cultural arts and museum genre through a unique educational experience. Unlike any other art program in the nation, the Barnes partnership has the core component of enabling students to study at a museum and come face-to-face with a collection of paintings by world famous artists. The School of Social Sciences and Behavioral Studies continues the advancement of its Center of Excellence in Business and Information Technology, which is equipping its banking, management, and accounting majors in all facets of enterprise resource planning, management, and entrepreneurial development. The uniqueness of this center provides students at Lincoln University the prospect of transforming an idea into a marketable product to create employment opportunities and wealth. The Center of Excellence in Teacher Education and Urban Pedagogy focuses on enhancing the ability of Lincoln University to help reverse the declining number of teachers in kindergarten through high school. This will be achieved by equipping students with the skills to provide young learners with the knowledge and tools to be successful in institutions of higher education or the workforce. Under the guidance of the faculty of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the Center of Excellence in Computational Science at Lincoln University will endeavor to be a key player in resolving the most important and complex scientific questions of the 21st Century. The center will concentrate on applications in environmental science, material science and biomedical science. This will enable graduates of Lincoln University to join the ranks of professionals engaged in understanding the complexities of alternative energy and biotechnology and resolving problems that are impossible by theory and physical experimentation alone. Now completing its third year of operation, Lincoln’s Excellent Academic Program in Science (L.E.A.P.S.), a $2.4 million program funded by the National Science Foundation, identifies and provides a pre-freshman summer bridge program for talented high schools seniors (31 in 2006-07) and is a retention-building centerpiece of this Center of Excellence. This program will position Lincoln University to significantly increase the number of science and mathematics majors enrolling in graduate and professional schools. In the area of student research, science majors regularly participate in summer research internships and Lincoln’s annual science fair as well as poster sessions sponsored by the Philadelphia Alliance for Minority Participation and the University of Florida. Furthermore, Lincoln’s School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has

2011-2012 Lady Lions Media Guide

concluded a major agreement with the School of Engineering of Morgan State University to begin a dual degree program in civil and industrial engineering. Participants will receive a bachelor’s degree in physics from Lincoln and in engineering from Morgan in a three-two format (three years at Lincoln and two at Morgan). Other achievements during the year included approval of Lincoln’s Teacher Certification Programs by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Those programs are Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education with English, Spanish, French, Music, History, Political Science, Social Studies Certification, Mathematics, and Biology as cognate areas. Graduate Reading, Elementary Education, and Early Childhood Education also received approval. Significantly, Lincoln University was the only institution—state-related or private independent—to join a consortium of the fourteen state-owned universities and fourteen community colleges to undertake a major “articulation” project. Its purpose is to define general education, course credit equivalency among the schools to ease the transfer of students between the schools. Continuing through 2007-2008, the project will evaluate over a thousand courses in the building of a database of courses (managed by AcademyOne) that are immediately transferable among the 29 participating institutions. Faculty and students continued to distinguish themselves, increasing national recognition for the university. Dr. Kenneth VanDover, of the English and Mass Communications Department, spent a year lecturing on detective fiction and theory and the development of the novel in the University of Vienna in Austria as a Fulbright Scholar. Dr. Emmanuel Babatunde, of the Sociology and Anthropology Department, was appointed a Fulbright Senior Specialist and lectured on anthropology at the Eduardo Mondland University in Mozambique, Africa. Recipients of the Board of Trustees Distinguished Faculty Awards were Dr. Jeffrey Hoogeveen, winner of the Hildrus S. Poindexter Distinguished Faculty Award for Research; Dr. Babatunde, winner of the Soraya M. Coley Distinguished Faculty Award for Service; and Dr. Goro Nagase, winner of the Henry Cornwall Distinguished Faculty Award for Teaching. Dr. Marilyn Button, chair of the Department of English and Mass Communications, received the Christian R. and Mary Lindback Outstanding Teaching Award. Members of the faculty were engaged in continuous research efforts while a $4.2 million award from the Pennsylvania Department of Health was won to study colorectal cancer among residents in Northeast Pennsylvania. Drs. Anna Hull and Karen Baskerville will collaborate on the study. Additionally, the university was awarded a pair of $500,000 grants, one from the Department of Defense to investigate protein dynamics by using a single molecule spectroscope and another from NASA and the Department of Defense to recruit and retain minority physics and pre-engineering majors. Dr. Derrick Swinton will investigate protein dynamics and Dr. Willie Williams is the principal investigator for the grant from NASA and the Department of Defense. Students, on the other hand, achieved national recognition in a competitive academic arena. Senior accounting major Rumbi Tabvuma won first place in a national oratorical contest held in Indianapolis, Ind. Meanwhile, Briquel Sherman, Anthony Sherland and Talisha Cook were among winners at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students held in Anaheim, Calif.

Student Affairs & Enrollment Management In its continuing effort to enhance the quality of the living and learning environment at Lincoln, the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management (SAEM) continued to augment the numerous programs, activities and services available to students at the university. Life outside the classroom is more vibrant and stimulating perhaps than anytime before in the history of the university, given the numerous new initiatives that are currently occurring on the campus. With each passing year, Lincoln becomes more popular as witnessed by the record number of applications for admission that we are receiving annually. In 2006-07, both the undergraduate and graduate admissions offices achieved new enrollment records by enrolling the largest number of new undergraduate and graduate students in university history. With these records, the university also broke its previous year’s record for overall student enrollment by enrolling a total of 2,423 students for the academic year. The university continues also to set records for Open House attendance and the number of visitors to the campus annually. In addition to the great admissions news, Lincoln’s retention rate for first-time freshman increased, showing that not only are more students matriculating, more students are also staying to take advantage of the full Lincoln experience. The division of SAEM continued to offer students a wide array of co-curricular academic support programs and experiential learning experiences via the Learning Resource Center and Act 101 Achievement Program, the Office of International Programs and Services (including study abroad), the Office of Minority Male Health and the Office of Student Life and Development. The LRC and Act 101 Achievement Program continued to offer supplemental instruction and tutoring in reading, writing and math for all students enrolled in developmental courses and provided specialized counseling and programs for students enrolled in the Act 101 program. The study abroad and service learning numbers continue to rise as students continue to study in virtually every continent with new programs in Argentina, Ireland, Ecuador and Cambodia, as well as increased enrollment at the university-sponsored program in Japan. The Office of Minority Male Health continued community outreach efforts on and off campus as it daily demonstrated a concern for the health and welfare of our students and local community residents. The office started a mentoring program with local middle school students and continued to offer its LU Fitness Challenge programs. In addition, the Upward Bound program continued its SMARTS (Stay Motivated and Reduce Teen Smoking) initiative and the Women’s Center and Student Health Services conducted a massive HIV and AIDS campaign and made available on campus rapid testing for students on two occasions during the academic year. The Office of Student Life and Development and Department of Residence Life engaged in collegial competition as it sought to bring new and requested programs to the students of Lincoln University. The office continued to operate the New Student Orientation and Transition Week program and its First Year Experience Program for new students, which is undoubtedly one of the key mechanisms in the increased first-year student retention rate. To augment the positive retention data on first year students, the Office of Student Services began the planning and development of a Sophomore Experience Program, with implementation set for the 2008-09 academic year. One of the greatest areas of achievement within the division has been the provision of services to all students enrolled at the University. During the 2006-07 academic year, safety and security received a major boost with the significant capital purchase of a CCTV camera surveillance system for the entire campus. With the implementation of over 120 cameras throughout the campus, many with point, tilt and zoom capability, the Department of Public Safety is able to visually patrol all 422 acres of the university campus. The immediate payback for this system was seen throughout the academic year as department personnel were able to use this system to prevent and solve numerous cases on campus.

The student body and university community continue to be excited about the passage and implementation of the Student Enhancement Initiative, a Board of Trustees approved resolution that returns football and a marching band to the campus and allows Lincoln to transfer from NCAA Division III to Division II intercollegiate athletics and affiliating with the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. All academic buildings on campus have or soon will be renovated. In 2006-07, a $12 million renovation project began on the Student Union Building as well as Phase I of making the campus wireless. To augment all that is happening programmatically, the university is continuing to renovate and build facilities to meet the needs and desires of current students and to attract new students. The year represented another step in sustained determination by the division to make Lincoln University one of the most student-centered campuses in the nation. FISCAL AFFAIRS Major renovations and input for design, quality control and coordination on the many Commonwealth-funded construction projects took place on the main campus. During the year, Physical Plant personnel provided assistance of capital projects in progress. The maintenance and upgrade of our facilities during this period included: • LLC Auxiliary Boiler • University Hall Renovations and Furniture/Fixtures/ Equipment • Ware Center and Furniture/Fix tures/ Equipment • Back-up Generator • HVAC Systems and Controls • Asbestos Abatement • Roof Upgrades • Life Science Ventilation Upgrades The university is in the planning stages of additional upgrades or new construction. They include a $40.5 million General Classroom and Technology Building, an International Center and renovations of Langston Hughes Memorial Library and Wright Hall. Additionally, plans are under way to construct a tennis court and softball field and an academic center for learning and counseling. All of these efforts contributed to a new look and the air of anticipation as most academic buildings and the campus landscape will undergo modernization or be supplanted by larger, new structures and a dynamic new vista. In addition the Graduate Center campus is undergoing a dramatic transformation. An outside developer is investing $29 million to completely renovate and modernize the building. The university will occupy two floors in the renovated facility. The building will house efficient, all new equipment and interiors at one of the premier locations in Philadelphia. Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, risk management, disaster recovery and improved administrative systems were the issues driving the direction of the University’s Information Technology department. Many upgrades supported the renovation of the new buildings including replacement of the University’s voice mail system, completely new equipment and furniture for renovated buildings, expansion of the wireless network, conversion to a new, renumbered direct dial phone system for better security, new security cameras, a new administrative LionCard to allow electronic payment across the campus for auxiliary enterprises, including laundry, books, meals and copying in the library. New pianos also have been purchased and Smartboards have been placed in classrooms. The implementation of the new Datatel COLLEAGUE system for general ledger, accounts payable, purchasing, payroll, budgets, admissions, billing, student housing and registrar remained at the forefront of IT operations. During the year, all relevant users began intensive Datatel training to prepare for the upstart and smooth transition to the new system. The upgrades in IT and refurbishments in Physical Plant highlighted the university’s efforts to provide a safe and efficient work environment and maintain our facilities and support services at a level conducive to learning.

Development & External Relations The Division of Development and External Relations sustained its momentum of increasing donations from various sources and winning friends for the university through a well-conceived approach. The division supported the initiatives of the president to enhance national and international awareness of the university’s growing impact on teaching, research and community outreach. The division played a key role in the institution’s successful effort to establish an academic partnership with the University of Science and Technology in Rivers State, Nigeria. Moreover, the division supported the newly formed collaboration with The Barnes Foundation to implement a bachelor of arts degree program. The Barnes Foundation collaboration is the first of its kind in the nation and has gained the status as a Center of Excellence. The division has been actively involved in promoting the high achievements of faculty, staff, students and alumni in the various media. For example, articles on some aspect on the university appeared in Diverse Issues in Higher Education, Ebony and Jet magazines. The Office of Public Relations made special effort to keep university

constituents, including alumni and major donors, aware of new developments primarily through two publications, The Lincoln Review and The Lincoln Lion. Throughout the year, students gained firsthand knowledge about current issues and future trends in business and industry from senior executives of Fortune 500 companies under the leadership of the Executive in Residence program. This program also features personal interaction between students and senior level executives.

Among executives participating in the program was former Emmy awarding winning CNN anchor Valerie Morris, Shannon Moore, a regional Vice President with Enterprise Rent-a-Car and John O’Brien, vice president of Emerging Brands at AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. In an enduring commitment to assist students in workforce preparedness, the division again sponsored a career fair for undergraduate students that attracted 90 representatives from various business and educational entities. Additionally, the division conducted career fairs for graduate students interested in pursuing a career in medicine and law. Over 600 students took advantage of the opportunities to learn more about advanced degrees in areas where AfricanAmericans and other minorities are underrepresented. A remarkable achievement was the overall increase of contributions from the university’s various constituents. With the aid of 264 first-time donors, alumni giving increased from $426,007 a year ago to $478,580. There was also a significant increase in overall contributions, which nearly tripled from $1,938,493 to $3,335,349.

2011-2012 Season Preview 2011-2012 Lady Lions Media Guide

Season Preview

lulions.com The Lincoln University women’s basketball team will start from the ground up this season. The Lady Lions usher in a new head coach and will look to bounce back from a 3-24 season in 2010-2011. Jessica Kern is no stranger to collegiate athletics, having ran track & field at Penn State University and played women’s professional basketball overseas. Her knowledge of the sport led her to the collegiate ranks as an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff and the University of Milwaukee-Wisconsin. Kern takes over a program in search of the right winning formula and in the offseason, the first-year coach is on the right path by mixing five key returners with several newcomers. The newcomers feature freshman and several collegiate transfers. RETURNERS Lincoln returns five players off last year’s team and one member returning from the 2009-2010 season to the hardwood. The Lady Lions will look to none other than senior Sharay DuBose. DuBose (G, 5-6, Salisbury, Md.) surpassed the 1,000-point plateau as a junior, reaching the feat against Chowan on Jan. 24, 2011. Last season, DuBose had 16 double-digit scoring games, including scoring more than 20 points five times. She led the team in scoring by averaging 13.2 points and shot 37.5 percent (106-of-283) from the floor and was 103-of-134 (77 percent) from the freethrow line. “Entering her senior season, Sharay will be looked to not only for scoring, but leadership,” Kern said. “Her load will be a bit less this year and she will be able to focus on her trade of creating shots and stroking it from the outside.” Cynthia Johnson, who was selected to the All-CIAA Rookie Team last season, will look to settle in at the point position. Johnson (SO, PG, 5-7, Randallstown, Md.) averaged 7.6 points, while shooting 29.7 percent from the floor. She had seven doubledigit scoring games, including pouring in a career-high 15 points twice (at Chowan on Feb. 10, 2011 and vs. Shaw on Feb. 28). “CJ will have help at the point position this year and will settle in to her true position of a slasher,” Kern said. “Her quickness and knack for the fast break will fit in well with our transition offense.” Another key returner is Brittney Waters. Waters (JR, SG, 5-10, Capitol Heights, Md.) was second on the team in scoring by averaging 10.0 points per game. She shot 29.8 percent and had 10 double-digit scoring games. Her biggest output was 26 points on Feb. 24 against Saint Paul’s College. “A true scorer that has yet to reach her potential,” Kern said. “Brittney worked very hard in the offseason and has become a leader thus far in the

season. Teams can look forward to more than just 3-pointers from her this year.” Mfon Ekanem will be depended on in the middle to bolster the post position. Ekanem (JR, C, 6-2, Springdale, Md.) played and started in all 26 games last season for the Lady Lions. She averaged 2.2 points and scored a career-high six points twice (vs. Millersville on Dec. 12, 2010 and vs. Saint Paul’s on Feb. 5, 2011). Although she didn’t figure much in the scoring category, Ekanem was a force on the boards, averaging 7.1 rebounds. She registered double-digit rebounds in eight games and pulled down a careerhigh 16 at Elizabeth City State on Feb. 8, 2011. “Mfon has committed herself not only to the weight room, but in preseason training,” Kern said. “A rebounding threat last season - she will be a threat on both ends of the court this year. Her ability to find the ball has raised the bar for our other post players.” Tahlar McIntosh (JR, SF, 5-8, Pittsburgh, Pa.) saw limited action last season by playing in 11 games and starting in four. She averaged 7.0 points per game and pulled down 5.9 rebound per game. In 217 minutes, McIntosh was 29-of-66 shooting for 44 percent. She scored a career-high 15 points and pulled down 10 rebounds for her only double-double of the season at Washington Adventist on Jan. 4, 2011. “Tahlar is coming back to us from an ACL tear and has worked very hard in rehab in the offseason and over the summer,” Kern said. “With the diligence of NovaCare and her toughness, we welcome her back as a great rebounder and threat from all spots on the floor.” The last returner didn’t play during the 2010-2011 season. Tequila Jimenez (SR, F, 6-2, South Jersey, N.J.) rejoins the squad after a year off. In 2009-2010, Jimenez played in 25 games, starting in five. She averaged 2.7 points and 1.8 rebounds. In 192 minutes, Jimenez was 28-of-68 shooting for 41.2 percent. “Tequila joins us from the 2009-2010 roster,” Kern said. “Her height and soft touch around the basket assists us in rebounding, extending defenses and depth at the center position.” NEWCOMERS Lincoln welcomes seven new players to the team, including four junior college transfers, one Division I transfer, one senior and two freshmen. Synae Williams (JR, G/F, 5-8, Philadelphia, Pa.) comes to Lincoln from North Carolina A&T. Prior to joining the team at North Carolina A&T, Williams scored a career-high 26 points for Imhotep Charter High School against Paul Robeson in 2007. “Synae comes to us from North Carolina A&T, and we consider her a well-kept secret,” Kern said. “Syane’s retention of schemes and plethora of fundamental skills allows her to be a threat at all positions.” Denyse Moore is another transfer, coming to the Lady Lions from

2011-2012 Lady Lions Media Guide


2011-12 Lincoln Basketball

Season Preview ASA Community College. Moore (JR, PG/SG, 5-7, Hampton, Va.) may have been one of the biggest recruiting steals for the first-year head coach. Moore, who chose Lincoln over Old Dominion, William & Mary and Hampton, has career highs of 26 points, 11 assists, 10 steals and nine boards while at Woodside High School, where she earned back-to-back All-Second Team District honors. “Denyse is an explosive guard that came to us via ASA College/Delaware State,” Kern said. “Her quickness on both ends of the court, scoring and leadership abilities will help us tremendously this year.” Another solid transfer and teammate of Moore is Darleen McLeod. McLeod (JR, SF/PF, 5-10, Bronx, N.Y.) was a First-Team All-City selection while at John F. Kennedy High School. “Darleen, an ASA College transfer, will be a presence in the post defensively and offensively be able to stretch the defense with her outside presence,” Kern said. The final trio that comes to Lincoln from ASA Community College is Lerynica Miller. Miller (JR, PF, 6-0, Brooklyn, N.Y.), who was a McDonald’s All-American nominee, helped guide Saint Peter’s High School to a 14th straight Staten Island Championship. “Lerynica was a highly decorated Division I recruit,” Kern said. “We were lucky to have her as an additional threat in the paint.” Krystal Fluellen (JR, SF/PF, 6-0, New York, N.Y.) comes to Lincoln from Mohawk Community College where she helped guide the school to the 2011 Regional Championship with a 30-2 record. She was selected to the All-Regional, All-Conference and National All-Tournament teams. “Krystal gives a flexibility in that she can defend, shoot the long ball and play in the paint,” Kern said. The pair of freshmen making their collegiate debuts are Courtney Lucas and Alaysia Washington. Lucas (FR, G/F, 5-10, Washington, D.C.) played at Friendship Collegiate Academy where she helped the squad to four straight championships, including going undefeated in conference play last season. “Courtney was a highly sought incoming freshman throughout the CIAA,” Kern said. “We are gracious she chose Lincoln to be her home and her long frame coupled with athleticism and a mature basketball IQ is a threat.” A teammate with Lucas at Friendship Collegiate Academy was Washington. Washington (FR, PG, 5-4, Washington, D.C.) also helped the school to four straight championships and garnered the 2009 MVP at the Carroll Christmas Tournament. She was selected 2010 WCSAA All-Conference and 2010 MVP of Championship game. “Alaysia will be a quick blur if you blink,” Kern said. “We are anxious to see her push the ball in our free-flowing offense.” Jacque Dorsey (SR, F, 5-7, Parkersburg, Pa.) is in her final year at Lincoln and will be a solid addition to the squad. “Although undersized, Jacque plays her role well and is efficient around the basket,” Kern said. THE SCHEDULE

The Lady Lions begin the 2011-2012 season on the road at the Ohio Valley University Conference Challenge and follow that two-day tournament with a road game at Georgian Court. Lincoln’s home opener comes Nov. 16 at Manuel Rivero Hall as the Lady Lions take on Washington Adventist. Two days later, the annual rivalry renews as Lincoln meets Cheyney in the “Battle of the Firsts” at the Liacouras Center at Temple University. November ends with a road contest on the 28th against Bloomsburg and a home game on the 30th versus Philadelphia University. Only three games highlight the month of December as Lincoln plays host to St. Thomas Aquinas on the 3rd and then 13 days later, travels to Central State before Christmas Break. The Lady Lions conclude the 2011 portion of the schedule Dec. 30 at Kutztown. Just two days after ringing in the new year, Lincoln plays host to Ohio Valley - it’s second matchup between the two schools - on Jan. 2. A road trip three days later awaits as the Lady Lions open CIAA play. Three straight home games from Jan. 7-12 highlight the schedule as Livingstone, Johnson C, Smith and Fayetteville State come to Manuel Rivero Hall. However, Lincoln spends the next five games, including four CIAA contests on the road, first at Winston-Salem State on the 14th. Trips to Shaw, Elizabeth City State, Chowan and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore await. The end of the month features back-to-back home games as Bowie State and Virginia Union come to town. Much like the end of January, the beginning of February features three consecutive home games as Virginia State, Elizabeth City State and Chowan all make an appearance at Lincoln. The following three games will end conference play as the Lady Lions travel to Bowie State, Virginia Union and Virginia State. The CIAA Basketball Tournament, played in Charlotte, N.C., at the Time Warner Cable Arena, begins Feb. 27 and will run until March 3.

Questions & Answers With Jessica Kern 1. What are your expectations coming into the season? As stated at the pre-season press conference: “ Growth means change and change involves rick. Lincoln Women’s basketball will catapult to a level in which we will be a respected force in this conference. With transition comes change and with change comes progress. This program is headed in a direction of discipline, structure and toughness. A pre-season pick of 6th was humbly anticipated – as our style of play is ran with a since of urgency so is our itch to excel in our Division and in such a prestigious conference.” 2. This is your first year at Lincoln. Talk about your previous stops and what you learned from those places? I was extremely lucky to work for such successJessica Kern ful Head Coaches. Sandy Botham at University Head Coach Wisconsin Milwaukee has the most wins of any coach in Horizon League History and Danny Evans at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff turned what was a last place SWAC team to title contenders. Coach Botham’s history as a historic player and coach at the University of Notre Dame under current legend Muffy McCraw, aided in UWM’s aggressive post play and hard nose defensive schemes. Danny Evans, former Oklahoma State University stand-out player, Southern University assistant coach (SWAC Champions 2010) and Head Coach at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff was able to be successful in his array of offensive quick hitter schemes and well conditioned teams. A variety of these philosophies in addition to my mentor/father- 30 years as a High School Head Coach –Robert Kern’s disciplined defense oriented team philosophy, I have been able to create my own identity. 3. Sharay Dubose is the featured player and had an outstanding career at Lincoln thus far. Talk about her character and the level of play she brings game in and game out? Sharay DuBose is a natural leader. She has had to be a all-around defender in the past and carry a great load of our offense. Not only is she a stellar athlete she is a great student as well. This year I am excited that she gets to focus on guard play and she has help on both ends of the court. Her ability to adapt to many different situations keeps me optimistic in her transition to a new scheme and new players. Any coach would be lucky to have her. I am honored to have her as my sole returning senior this year. 4. The CIAA is such a tough conference. What do you expect from your team in Northern Division play, but overall against conference foes? Hard work, although mentioned by so many people so many ways, is the force that drives these young ladies and my staff daily. Coach Kisha Middleton and Coach Amber Sneed in collaboration with several managers, Administration and support staff are collectively doing what is needed to make this program run like a well-oiled machine. Respect is given to the all the teams and coach’s in this conference that have been diligent in their efforts to become powerhouses and contenders year in and year out. We believe that by becoming students in the classroom and on the court, coupled with discipline and old fashioned hard work we can humbly leave our stamp on the Northern Division and the CIAA conference.

Coaching Staff

Jessica Kern Head Coach FIrst Year • Penn State, 2002

O

n April 14, 2011, Jessica Kern was named the ninth head coach in the history of the women’s basketball program and the first full-time female coach. Kern comes to Lincoln University as a highly decorated professional women’s basketball player and collegiate standout. This past season, she served as the assistant women’s coach and media specialist at NCAA Division I University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “It is a pleasure to welcome Jessica to our team and introduce her as our new head women’s basketball coach,” said Director of Athletics Dianthia Ford-Kee. “Jessica’s athletic background and experiences will bring a wealth of knowledge to our women’s basketball program. Her career path exemplifies a commitment to excellence and she is a role model for our young women.” At the University of UW-M, which is a member of the Horizon League, she assisted in scouting, aided in recruiting and broke down film. The Lady Panthers finished 12-18 and advanced to the league’s quarterfinals in the postseason tournament. “I am extremely grateful to President Nelson, Mrs. Ford-Kee and the selection committee for considering and choosing me as the new head women’s basketball coach,” Kern said. “Education, hard work and discipline have played a substantial influence in my success thus far in my career. I look forward to instilling these qualities into such a special group of young women and am excited to begin this new chapter in

my career.” Prior to her time in Milwaukee, Kern assisted for two seasons at the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluffs, a Division I school and member of the Southwest Athletic Conference (SWAC). Her personalized individual-approach served the Lady Lions well. Posting a 12-19 record, she helped propel them to their most victories and highest conference tournament finish in 12 years. As the conditioning coordinator and individual skill developer, she assisted Lady Lion standouts Ciara Shields and Arica Green to All-SWAC recognitions as well as Shay Holmes to Newcomer of the Year status. Kern’s career path toward collegiate basketball coaching was unconventional to say the least. After earning a roster spot on the Penn State women’s basketball program, she participated in track and field where she was a two-time All-Academic and All-Big Ten performer. A two-time captain and a 2002 graduate with degrees in communications and sociology, Kern returned to basketball and played professionally in Germany, Switzerland, Romania, and Poland from 2003-2010. While in Switzerland, she led her team with a 25.1 scoring average. A crowd favorite in Poland, Kern ran basketball clinics and gave motivational speeches at the local “University” school. In the off-seasons from 2002-2007 she taught at various Milwaukee High Schools and aided the girls’ basketball and track & field teams. Her 2007 Vincent High School junior varsity squad posted a 20-0 record, and her conditioning program and individualized skill development was a catalyst in Vincent achieving a State Championship. Spare time saw her establishing various basketball camps for girls in underserviced neighborhoods. Continuing her history with running camps, Kern successfully orchestrated the “Lady Lions” First Team Basketball Camp in the summer of 2009. During the summer of 2007, her coaching career took a huge leap forward as she was appointed the head coach of the Arkansas Lady Ballers in the Women’s Blue Chip Basketball League, a 20-team national semi-pro women’s league. Kern’s up tempo style, infectious enthusiasm and motivation propelled the Ballers to a victory over the Canadian national team, a regional championship and the national championship in held in Memphis, Tenn. A native of Milwaukee, Wisc., Kern was one of the most decorated scholar/athletes in Milwaukee City Conference history. She received 11 Varsity Letters (3-Basketball, 4-Volleyball, 4-Track & Field) and Captained in each sport for multiple years. Her basketball teams played in the State Finals four times, winning the State Title in both her freshmen and sophomore years. In addition, she was an 11-time Individual Conference Champion in Track & Field, a 3-Time All Conference performer in Volleyball and a finalist for the State’s Scholar/Athlete Award.

CIAA THE HISTORY OF THE CIAA

The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) was founded in 1912 as the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association and is the oldest African-American athletic conference in the nation. Although the membership has changed since 1912, the CIAA consists of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) spanning the east coast from Pennsylvania to North Carolina. The membership: Bowie State University, Chowan University, Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville State University, Johnson C. Smith University, Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, Livingstone College, St. Augustine’s College, Shaw University, Virginia State University, Virginia Union University and Winston-Salem State University is comprised of both private and public colleges and universities with enrollments ranging from 1,100 to over 7,000 students. Currently, eighty percent of CIAA alumni reside in Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia. The CIAA is incorporated in the District of Columbia and is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. The conference is headquartered in Hampton, Virginia and is governed by the twelve Presidents and Chancellors of its member institutions. The conference holds championships annually in the following sports: Men’s and Women’s Cross Country; Volleyball; Football; Men’s and Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Track; Men’s and Women’s Basketball; Women’s Bowling; Men’s and Women’s Tennis; Golf; Baseball and Softball. In addition to its outstanding basketball history, the CIAA pioneered the divisional conference football championship game format. In 1970, after dividing the conference into Northern and Southern Divisions, the CIAA played the first conference football championship game in college football history in Petersburg, Virginia. The first black college football game was also played between CIAA schools, Livingstone and Biddle (now Johnson C. Smith) in 1893. Academic success is a staple of the conference. The CIAA recognizes the academic achievement of its student-athletes annually by naming its top student-athletes to the Commissioner’s All-Academic Team. The conference also recognizes the Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year for student-athletes who have excelled on the field and in the classroom. CIAA student-athletes have achieved success in the professional ranks. Ben Wallace, former basketball standout from Virginia Union University, was named to the 2004 Olympic Team and was instrumental in helping the NBA Detroit Pistons win the 2004 NBA Championship. Charles Oakley also from Virginia Union has played with the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors. Darrell Armstrong of Fayetteville State University recently retired from the NBA New Jersey Nets and Ronald Murray of Shaw University currently plays with the NBA Chicago Bulls. Most recently, Greg Toler of St. Paul’s College was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the 31st round of the 2009 NFL draft. Former CIAA alumni who found success in professional sports include Earl “The Pearl” Monroe (Winston-Salem State University), Sam Jones (North Carolina Central University), Earl Lloyd (West Virginia State University), and Bobby Dandridge (Norfolk State University). The late John McClendon and C.E. “Big House” Gaines are coaching legends and pioneers. CIAA alumni list boasts some of the country’s prominent leaders. They include: the late Reginald Lewis (the owner of the first black billion dollar business - Beatrice Foods); the late Maynard Jackson (first black mayor of Atlanta, GA); Douglas Wilder (first elected black governor - Virginia); Art Shell (the first black NFL head coach in the modern era); and Andrew Young (the first black United States Ambassador to the United Nations). The CIAA receives significant support from corporate America. Over the past ten years companies such as Alltel, Anheuser Busch, Bank of America, Coca-Cola USA, Food Lion and Ford Motor Corporation, Glaxo Smithkline, Geico, Nationwide Insurance, Nike, McDonald’s, Russell Athletic, the American Red Cross, the United States Army, Navy and Marine Corp have assisted the conference in securing $10.5 million in scholarship money for the member institutions and an additional $23 million for other championships and television. With the help of these sponsors, the CIAA can boast its position as the first NCAA Division II conference to have its tournament televised as part of Championship Week on the Entertainment Sports Programming Network (ESPN), the cable television giant. One of the nation’s premier sporting events is the annual CIAA Basketball Tournament. Touted as the third most attended basketball tournament among all NCAA divisions, the first tournament was a 2,000 seat sellout in Washington, D.C. The CIAA Tournament recorded consecutive sellouts in the 20,000 seat RBC Center, located in Raleigh, NC when the city was awarded the event in 2000 and 2003. The 2011 CIAA Tournament, in its sixth year in the “Queen City”, Charlotte, NC, boasted over 190,000 fans during the course of the week, while making an economic impact of over $44.3 million. Since the year 2000, the CIAA has generated over $266.06 million in economic impact for the state of North Carolina and over $16.5 million in overall scholarship dollars for CIAA member institutions. Tournament Week offers events for every social palate including parties, numerous educational and healthy-livings components, step shows and a battle of the bands. The men’s and women’s tournaments are held simultaneously and their respective championship games are on Saturday night. The CIAA has received national recognition by being featured in EBONY magazine for six consecutive years, USA Today (front page cover story) and in Essence magazine. The Tournament has also been an annual staple of the Steve Harvey and Tom Joyner Morning Shows. The CIAA Tournament is televised into more than 57 million homes nationwide. In 2005, the conference partnered with ESPN, which included coverage on ESPN Classic, ESPN Plus and ESPN In-Game. ESPN reaches over 99.5 million homes. For the 2010 tournament, the CIAA entered into a first-ever partnership with TV One, a television network that chronicles African-American culture and achievement, to broadcast the men’s quarterfinals and semifinal rounds. The CIAA is undoubtedly celebrated as a conference of “firsts”. Its innate spirit of ingenuity and innovation continues to keep the CIAA in the forefront; blazing trails for other conferences to follow. As the CIAA enters into 100 years of excellence in athletic competition, the conference and its member institutions continue to build on the rich and honorable traditions of its past; while providing leadership into the future.
