This week Lincoln Christian University took the opportunity once again to honor their past president Dr. Keith Ray (see story below). Dr. Ray announced his retirement from LCU in October of last year. His resignation took effect after this year’s spring commencement. During commencement, Dr. Ray was honored with a Distinguished Service Award. Dr. Ray served as LCU president from 1998 to 2014. Next week he will join the senior vice president team at Christian Homes Inc., working in St. Louis. We all join LCU in thanking Dr. Ray for his years of service to this community, and wish him well in all future endeavors.
