During his time at Lincoln, he distinguished himself in the LASER program, a pioneering STEM initiative at the university. This early exposure to science and technology laid the foundation for his future endeavors.

After his undergraduate studies, Ulmer's desire for knowledge led him to earn two Master's degrees from the University of Virginia, specializing in Materials Engineering and Business Administration. After experiencing the community on our campus, Ulmer decided to continue his Lincoln story and began to help us further our mission.
