LWC's Duane Bonifer receives award for service to AIKCU

Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities present Bonifer with "For the Greater Good Award" at recent annual recognition banquet

By Mason Dyer

Duane Bonifer, Director of Public Relations at Lindsey Wilson College, was presented the President's "For the Greater Good Award" during the recent annual recognition banquet of the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities.

The award recognizes a staff person from one of AIKCU's twenty member campuses who has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the organization and to the advancement of Kentucky's independent college and university sector.



"Duane's someone I look to when I need help with just about any situation," AIKCU President Gary S. Cox said, in presenting the award. "His hard work, ability and good humor are constant and his commitment to independent higher education is unwavering."

Bonifer is a tireless advocate not just for Lindsey Wilson, but for the shared values of all of Kentucky's independent colleges and universities.

"AIKCU's strength is its members," Bonifer said. "We are 20 great private colleges and universities working toward one common goal: changing students' lives and preparing them to be successful and model citizens in our communities."

"Duane is a tremendous asset to Lindsey Wilson College and to independent higher education across Kentucky," Cox said. "With a small staff, we rely heavily on campus folks to help us get things done. We can always count on Duane, whether we need him to bring Lindsey Wilson students to Frankfort to meet with legislators or advise us on policy or public relations issues."

Bonifer has been at Lindsey Wilson College for more than 14 years as the college's director of public relations. He serves on the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights and he and his wife Kelli, an Adair County Extension Agent, are the parents of two young boys.

Bonifer is the third recipient of the AIKCU "For the Greater Good Award." Last year's recipient was Rev. John E. Chowning, Campbellsville University VP for Church and External Relations and Executive Assistant to the President. Midway College Vice President for Business Affairs Lyen Crews was the first recipient for his work with the AIKCU Benefit Trust's self-funded health insurance initiative.
