Dear Lincoln University Family

My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I am writing to you to introduce myself. My name is
Alan L. Joplin and I am the new director of the Wesley Foundation at Lincoln University. I have over 30 years experience in teaching and administration at the university level, in places like: Cenral State University/Ohio; Livingstone College/North Carolinia; and the University of Havana/Cuba. My mission experience includes many humanitarian missions to Cuba and other Central and South American countries. Most recently I served as Visiting Professor of Black and Political Theology at the Baptist Theological Seminary, in Zimbabwe, Africa. My time there was spent helping to train a cadre of men and women who will serve as leaders for both church and society.

As your new Director of the Wesley Foundation, I look forward to sharing my mission with both students, faculty and staff. I look forward to becoming an active and valued member of the Lincoln community as I continue to do God’s work. The door to the Wesley Foundation is always open to you and I sincerely hope that you will stop by as this school year gets underway and see what’s new as we sow the seeds of faith and God’s love here at Lincoln University.


Yours in the service of the Lord,
Reverend Alan L. Joplin, B.A., M.A., M.A., MAT, M.Sc., M.Rel., M.Div.
Director, Wesley Foundation
