LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA – The Lincoln University, the
nation's first-degree
granting Historically Black College
  & University, announced it will award Dr. Toyin
Falola,
the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the
Humanities and University Distinguished Teaching Professor
at the University of Texas at Austin, an honorary
doctorate
degree at its 156th Commencement
  on Friday, May 8 at 9:00 a.m. in the university's
stadium.

Falola, who is one of the most prolific and erudite
global scholars of his generation, has published  more
than 125 books, numerous journal articles and book
chapters
on Africa and the African
  Diaspora.  Coupled with his high level of
international engagement activities and commitment to
Pan Africanism, he has become one of the most respected
and
influential scholars of the 20th and 21st
centuries.

"I am deeply humbled and honored to receive such a
prestigious honor," Falola said. "The greatest hope
that
a scholar can have is to feel that his/her efforts in the
academy have been appreciated
  across time and space."

Widely proclaimed as Africa's preeminent historian
and one of the major intellectuals of our time, Falola has
been invited to speak in all continents, and in over sixty
countries. He also manages
  five distinguished scholarly monograph series, and
serves
on the board of over twenty journals.

Falola has received several honorary doctorates,
 lifetime career awards and honors in various parts of
the world, including the Nigerian Diaspora Academic Prize,
the Cheikh Anta Diop Award,
  the Amistad Award, the SIRAS Award for Outstanding
Contribution to African Studies, Africana Studies
Distinguished Global Scholar Lifetime Achievement Award,
Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of Letters, Fellow of the
Historical Society of Nigeria The Distinguished
  Africanist Award and three Yoruba chieftaincy titles,
most
notably the Bobapitan of Ibadanland ("the grand
historian
of the empire").

At the University of Texas at Austin, he received the
Jean Holloway Award for Teaching Excellence, The Texas
Exes
Teaching Award, the Chancellor's Council Outstanding
Teaching Award, Outstanding
  Graduate Teaching Award, and the Career Research
Excellence
Award.

In addition, an annual international conference has
been named after him, the Toyin Falola Annual Conference
on
Africa and the African Diaspora (TOFAC), which meets every
July in a major African
  university.
