History
Lincoln Memorial University grew out of love and respect for Abraham Lincoln and today honors his name, values, and spirit. As the legend goes, in 1863 Lincoln commented to General O. O. Howard, a Union officer, that when the Civil War ended, he hoped General Howard would do something for the people of this area.

Student services
The Vice President for Academic and Student Services brings together, under one office, three core functions of Lincoln Memorial University (LMU), Academic Support, Student Support, and Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation.
Housing services
Residence Life on a university campus can be one of the most meaningful ingredients in a college experience. We are happy to take this opportunity to welcome our new students to Lincoln Memorial University's residence hall community and to help prepare you for life in a residence hall. One significant part of a University education is the learning that comes from living with others. A good deal of adjustment occurs in the transition from high school to University and from home life to residence hall life, and sometimes even from freshman to sophomore year. LMU's Residence Life Program is designed to help you make personal, social and academic adjustments in as healthy a way as possible..
Library services
Carnegie-Vincent Library is the main outlet of the kind at the Lincoln Memorial University.
Medical services
The LMU Student Health Center (LMU SHC) will provide nonemergent outpatient care for all currently enrolled students, both undergraduate and graduate levels. Staff includes a licensed practical nurse (LPN) and a family nurse practitioner (FNP) who are experienced in assessment and treatment of various medical problems common to college age students.
Campus life
Beautiful, historic, 1,000-acre wooded campus with 43 academic, administrative, and residential buildings.
Sports facilities
Located in the Student Center, the LMU Wellness Center boasts a wide variety of equipment including Matrix treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, free weights, TRX station, resistance machines, an Olympic lifting platform, and much more. Due to COVID-19, some equipment may be unavailable or marked as out of service.
Student clubs
Academics should be a primary focus of every student at LMU; however, The Office of Student Activities and Engagement is dedicated to providing opportunities for LMU students to develop outside the classroom. Actively engaging in the campus community should be a goal of each student at LMU. Each semester our office sponsors programs, events, and activities to actively engage, strengthen, and challenge students during their time at LMU. These opportunities allow students to get hands-on experiences through leadership development, social skills, personal connections, and networking, and will enhance your college experience.
LMU is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award associate, baccalaureate, masters, specialist, and doctorate degrees.
