Professor Linda Vollkommer-Lynch is
a distinguished faculty member and coach who has been
a valued member of the Stevens community since 1973.
Her life long involvement
in fencing, physical education, and commitment to student development, makes
her an asset to Stevens and the community.
Today, Professor Vollkommer-Lynch teaches in the Department of Physical Education
and serves as the Senior Woman Administrator. Since her arrival at Stevens, she
has helped establish athletic programs for women and as a coach she holds the
record for most wins in a single sport. As a faculty member, she was the first

An accomplished fencer both locally and nationally, Linda was inducted into the
New Jersey City University and the Hudson County Athletic Halls of Fame. She

is demonstrated by advising the Drama Society for past fifteen years and serving
on the DeBaun Renovation Committee and Advisory Board. The relationship between
Stevens and the Macy’s Special Events Studio, producers of the Thanksgiving

the opportunity to participate in a nationally recognized event. Linda’s
dedication to students has been recognized through her induction into the Stevens
chapter of Theta Alpha Phi, National Drama Honor Society and Khoda.
