Lincolns Back to Lincoln

At each of the four quarterly graduations, seniors are asked to participate in their first activity as alumni and make a donation to the College of Education and Human Sciences through the “Lincolns Back to Lincoln” campaign.  Prior to the ceremony, students receive an envelope with a $5 donation underwritten by a generous alumnus.  Graduating seniors are then asked to consider donating the $5 gift back to the College as their first donation as a member of the Louisiana Tech Alumni Family.  This action makes them a donor to the institution and secures their place in the alumni database.  In some cases, these young alumni give above the $5 gift before walking across the stage to receive their diploma.  We are proud of their early appreciation of their Tech experience and their recognition of the importance of giving back to the College that gave them so much.
