College announces selection of  Bradley J. Lingo ’00 as 10th president

College announces selection of Bradley J. Lingo ’00 as 10th president

Grove City College today announced the selection of Bradley J. Lingo ’00 as the College’s tenth president, following a unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees. Lingo, who graduated summa cum laude from Grove City College in 2000, has a distinguished record in law and academia and a compelling vision to build on Grove City College’s 150-year legacy as a highly distinctive Christian liberal arts college of extraordinary value.

“Brad rose to the top of the search committee’s deep candidate pool because of a unique combination of experience and characteristics that make him the right leader for the next chapter of Grove City College’s story,” said Edward D. Breen ’78, chair of the Grove City College Board of Trustees and the Board’s Presidential Search Committee. “He brings a vibrant commitment to Christian orthodoxy, tight alignment with the College’s conservative vision and character, extraordinary professional experience and sophistication, and a keen understanding of higher education and the challenges and opportunities facing Grove City College.”

Lingo currently serves as the dean of Regent University School of Law. Under his leadership, Regent Law has set records for enrollment, median incoming GPA and LSAT scores, U.S. News rankings, and employment outcomes. Lingo will complete the academic year at Regent before joining Grove City College in July 2025. A formal inauguration will occur later in the academic year.

“My life was transformed through Grove City College,” Lingo said. “As a student, I found professors who believed in me and friends who encouraged me in my faith, and I experienced the joy of working hard to pursue excellence in a Christian community. I am honored to return to Grove City and ensure that future generations of students will receive the Christian, conservative, academically excellent, affordable education that profoundly shaped me.”

“As we prepare to celebrate Grove City College’s 150th anniversary in 2026, there has never been a more important time for a school like ours,” Lingo added. “The College’s singular combination of faith and freedom makes it a beacon of light and a bastion of hope for our country’s future.”

Lingo, a native of northeast Ohio, graduated from Grove City College with a bachelor’s degree in business-economics. He earned his J.D., with honors, from Harvard Law School, where he served as executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, the flagship academic journal of The Federalist Society.

After law school, Lingo served as a law clerk to Hon. Morris S. Arnold on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Before joining the Regent Law faculty in 2019, Lingo was a litigation partner at King & Spalding LLP and practiced law in the Washington, D.C., office of Gibson Dunn. He and his wife, Yvonne, have three daughters, ages 9, 13, and 14.

Lingo’s selection concludes a nationwide search by the Board’s Presidential Search Committee, which included representatives from the Grove City College Board, faculty, and Alumni Association with support from CarterBaldwin Executive Search.

Since its founding in 1876, Grove City College has equipped students to pursue their unique callings through a Christ-centered, academically excellent, and affordable education. As an institution grounded in permanent ideas and conservative values and committed to the foundations of a free society, Grove City College develops leaders of the highest proficiency, purpose, and principles ready to advance the common good.

Grove City College is widely known for its spirit of independence and for the principled steps it has taken to safeguard its institutional freedom from intrusive regulation. Since its landmark 1984 Supreme Court case, Grove City College v. Bell, the College has refused all forms of federal financial assistance, making it one of only a few genuinely independent colleges in the nation.

Lingo will assume leadership of the College upon the retirement of Paul J. McNulty ’80, an alumnus of the College who served since 2014 as the school’s ninth president.

“Brad Lingo is an answer to prayer,” said McNulty. “I have full confidence that he is blessed with the faith, character, and remarkable ability for leading the College to new heights in advancing our vital mission. This community is in good hands moving forward.”
