From the Vice-Chancellor

Welcome to the latest edition of Lincoln University's alumni news. We're excited to share this update during a time of significant growth. Our student population is the largest it has ever been and we are on track to reach 5,000 students by the end of the year. 

Over the past five years, Lincoln University has thrived, emerging post-pandemic with a considerable increase in student numbers, plans for future growth in both domestic and international enrolment, a strong portfolio of relevant and impactful research and in a financially sound position.

As we approach our 150th-year celebration in 2028, our recent mid-point of our ten-year strategy (2019 - 2028) reaffirms our commitment as a specialist university focused on the land-based sectors, outlining our priorities for the next five years. 

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey as we continue to support the growth and contributions of current and future students in the land-based sectors.
