This scholarship fund has been established by Randall and Delores Lindsey. “Randy” is a1965 graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Education and Social Studies.

All of his experiences have been in working with diverse populations and his area of study is the behavior of white people in multicultural settings.

He works with colleagues to design and implement programs for and with schools, law enforcement agencies, and community-based organizations to provide access and achievement. He and his wife and frequent co-author, Delores, are enjoying this phase of life as grandparents, as educators, and in support of just causes that extend the promises of democracy throughout society in authentic ways.
