Grove City College welcomed its 10th president, Bradley Lingo ’00, at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year. Lingo has been a part of many long-standing traditions here at the college throughout his first year.
Lingo started off the year helping the freshman move in and welcoming students into SHAL on the first day of classes. He also was a part of his first opening convocation and homecoming as president.
One of the hallmarks of this school year was the opening of Smith Hall in the fall. Lingo was a part of the rededication of this building. This building is a monumental part of what students and faculty are doing in the STEM department and Lingo started his presidency by introducing it to the college.
The Lingo family experienced their first Christmas at Grove City College, among other classic winter events, like the beloved moonlight breakfast.
The spring semester kicked off with the 100 days out dinner, where Lingo celebrated nearing the end with the senior class. Then he was officially inaugurated Thursday.
Lingo has exprienced a number of the traditions that presidents before have been a part of, and he will get to continue to partake in such traditions as the school year wraps up.
