A familiar face will soon become Grove City College’s next president.

Bradley J. Lingo, a Grove City alumnus and the current dean of Regent University School of Law, will serve as his alma mater’s 10th president, Grove City leaders announced Monday.

College trustees unanimously selected Mr. Lingo after a nationwide search. He will take the Christian school’s helm in July.

Mr. Lingo said his life was “transformed” by Grove City. In returning to the Mercer County college, he hopes to impart that same impact on a new generation of students.

“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,” Mr. Lingo said in a news release. “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.”

Mr. Lingo grew up in Northeast Ohio and graduated from Grove City in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in business-economics.

He then attended Harvard Law School, where he earned his juris doctor and served as executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.

After law school, Mr. Lingo clerked for Judge Morris Arnold on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, was a litigation partner at King & Spalding LLP and practiced law at Gibson Dunn.

In 2019, he joined the law faculty at Regent University, a private Christian university in Virginia Beach. Mr. Lingo became dean of the law school in 2022; under his leadership, the school saw boosts in enrollment and increases in median incoming GPA and LSAT scores.

He and his wife, Yvonne, have three daughters between the ages of 9 and 14.

Both Mr. Lingo’s life experiences and personal characteristics made him Grove City’s top candidate for president, said Edward Breen, chairman of the Board of Trustees and the 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,” Mr. Breen said in the release.

Mr. Lingo will succeed Paul McNulty, who will retire from the presidency at the end of this semester after leading Grove City for 11 years. Mr. McNulty, who is also a Grove City alumnus, described Mr. Lingo as “an answer to prayer.”
