 When announcing the board's decision to extend Astroth's
appointment, Dr. Ted Allison, chair of the board of trustees said,
"We could not be more delighted at the prospect of Jon being with us
for more than one year."Over a 34-year career in academia,
Astroth has served on numerous state and national boards related to
higher education and was named a visiting professor to Northeast
Normal University in Changchun, Jilin, China. He earned a Ph.D. in
educational administration at Illinois State University.
Lincoln College was founded in 1865 as Lincoln University. It is
the only college or university named for Abraham Lincoln during his
lifetime. The college expanded to the Bloomington-Normal area in
1979.
In recent months, college administrators have announced new
programs that greatly expand the college's reach, including a new
online bachelor's degree completion program in supply chain and
logistics management, and the expansion of the accelerated
bachelor's degree completion program known as ABE to the Illinois
Valley Community College campus in Oglesby.
