In his short tenure he has re-established the Lion tradition in transition to the NCAA Division II level. Williams had at least one men’s cross country runner on the All-CIAA team and in 2012, Shana Brown was the first-ever female on the All-CIAA squad. On the track, in 2011 Williams guided Matthew Coston to an 800 Meter Indoor CIAA Champion as well as IC4A qualifiers in the 200 Meters, 800 Meters and 4x400 Relay Team. During the 2012 season Diane Lindsey became the first student- athlete to qualify for the NCAA Division II national championships while Tarem Cannonier was All- IC4A and ranked in the top 20 in the 400 Hurdles. Williams arrived at Lincoln from a highly decorated NCAA Division II program at Grand Valley State University, which has garnered a reputation for attracting and developing top talent. Since 2006, the women’s teams enjoyed eight top-five finishes at the NCAA Division II Track and Field Champion- ships, the best was a second-place effort this past winter at the Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, N.M. They followed that up with a third-place showing at the 2010 Outdoor Championships, hosted by CIAA Institution Johnson C. Smith. The men, mean- while, claimed five finishes in the top 10, including fourth during the 2008 NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field National Cham- pionships. During his six years as an assistant coach at GVSU, Williams specialized with the sprints, hurdles and relays. “Ray” culti- vated 99 NCAA Division II Track & Field USTFCCCA All-Academic athletes, 55 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Cham- pions, one USATF Jr. National Qualifier and one Canadian Athletics qualifier. In all, GVSU churned out 25 NCAA Division II All- Americans and 70 NCAA qualifiers, breaking 21 school records in the process. Prior to coaching at Grand Valley, Williams was a men’s and women’s assistant track & field coach at Marquette University in Mil- waukee, Wis., where he concentrated on sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers. In his years preceding the position at Marquette, Williams served as the Director of Student-Athlete Development and men’s and women’s assistant track and field coach at the University of Detroit for the 2001-2002 season. During his stint with the Titans, four of his athletes captured conference titles. Before he joined the Detroit program, he was the assistant women’s cross country and track and field coach at Western Michigan in 2000-2001 and from 1997-2000 he enjoyed a productive stint as the assistant track and field coach at the University of Chicago. While at Chicago, he coached a three-time NCAA Division III All-American and two NCAA Division III national qualifiers. Williams, a native of Chicago, has worked diligently at many national camps throughout his career. In 2012, he was appointed Sec- retary of the United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). He has served as an instructor at the UCLA Speed and Power Camp, directed the Speed and Power Development Camp at Grand Valley State from 2005-2010 and served as the keynote speaker and clinician at the 2010 Chicago Public Schools Track & Field Clinic. Williams completed his Mas- ters in Education at GVSU, and graduated from North Central College in Naperville, Ill., in 1995 with a degree in Urban Sociology. In addition to coaching, Williams has worked with the Boy Scouts of America, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Ser- vices and the Campus Outreach Opportunity League (COOL). He also served as the Undergraduate Advisor for the Alpha Phi Alpha, Fraternity, Inc. at GVSU and currently an active member. During his undergraduate years at North Central, Williams was a NCAA Division III All-American in the 110 hurdles in 1995, Team Captain, and three-time CCIW Conference Champion. His efforts helped the Cardinals on their way to a Division III Outdoor Na- tional Championship in 1994. Williams was also a member of the DC Capitals Track and Field Club teams from 1996-2000. Williams and his wife, Danyual, have two sons: Daniel and Kamran. TRACK & FIELD COACHING STAFF Nadia Alexander-Pompey enters her first season as an assistant coach on The Lincoln University Men’s and Women’s Track & Field staff specializing in the field events. Previously, Nadia Alexander served on the Virginia State University coaching staff from 2011-2013. During her tenure at VSU, she coached 29 All-CIAA performances including two CIAA Champions and 12 top-three performers. Her student-athletes at VSU broke four school records; men's indoor shot-put, men's outdoor shot-put, men's discus, and men's Javelin. While at VSU, she was responsible for the weight workout for her throwers and supervised the weight workout for the entire track and field team. A 2009 graduate of Louisiana Tech University, Coach Alexander received her Bachelor's degree in General Studies with a concentra- tion in social sciences, while competing for the Lady Techsters Track & Field team. In 2012, Coach Alexander earned her Master's Degree in Sports Management from Virginia State University. Coach Alexander earned the USATF Level 1 Coaching Certification and USTFCCCA Specialist Certification 304 in the Throwing Events.

  • Strategic Plan 2018 Message from the President Dear Lincoln University Community
    Lincoln University Reimagining the Legacy: Learn. Liberate. Lead. Strategic Plan 2018 Message from the President Dear Lincoln University Community, It is with great pleasure that we share Lincoln University’s new strategic plan: “Reimagining the Legacy: Learn. Liberate. Lead.” The plan is the result of a broadly inclusive, evidence-based process that was designed to honor the past while looking forward to the future. At its core is a focus on student success through reinvestment in our roots as a liberal arts institution. The plan acknowledges that the liberal arts’ use of curricular and co-curricular opportunities as the vehicles for honing essential skills like critical thinking, speaking, writing and problem solving remains the best approach for preparing graduates to thrive. This is especially the case given the unprecedented market shifts so characteristic of this global, 21st century knowledge-based economy. The plan has two broad aims. First, it endeavors to operationalize Lincoln University’s distinctive place as a world-class liberal arts institution. This will include maximizing our approach to the liberal arts by reviewing, revising and investing in curricular and co-curricular opportunities and by grounding this education in the historical context of our University. The second aim is to garner the resources needed to achieve our educational goals. The plan highlights objectives related to investments in students, faculty and staff, as well as the diversification of revenue sources. This plan is structured to lead you through six key areas: the University’s history, the mission & vision, strategic themes, the planning process, the planning context and strategic opportunities.
