LUCKEY Click on headline for full story plus photo. Click on Bonner Leaders for links to a few of the community changing stories about the Bonner Leaders and their impact on Columbia and surrounding areas. -CM By Duane Bonifer, Director of Public Relations News from Lindsey Wilson College Columbia, KY- Lindsey Wilson College has received a $500,000 endowment grant to support service-learning initiatives at the liberal arts college. The grant is from the Bonner Foundation of Princeton, NJ, and it will be matched by $500,000 from the college to create a $1 million endowment. The $1 million endowment will be used to provide scholarships to more than four dozen students who participate in the Lindsey Wilson Bonner Leaders program. "The Bonner Leader program is an incredible asset to Lindsey Wilson's students because it helps them become values-centered parents, employees and volunteers who are committed to serving others," said Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. "Bonner Leader students learn through doing, through leading and through reaching out to help others. These habits of service ingrain in them the ability to and the need to be integrally connected to those around them." Lindsey Wilson started its Bonner Leader program in 2005-06 with eight students, and it expanded the program to 42 students in 2009-10. Thanks to the endowment gift, the college has more than 50 Bonner Leader students in 2010-11, according to LWC Director of Civic Engagement & Student Leadership Amy Thompson-Wells. Since its inception, LWC Bonner Leaders have contributed more than 30,000 hours of community service to the region, including more than 10,000 hours during the 2009-10 school year. In 2007, the LWC Bonner Leader program received the Best Partner Award from the Kentucky Community Education Association for its work with the after-school program at Columbia's Colonel William Casey School. "Lindsey Wilson College is making a difference in Columbia and in surrounding communities through the Bonner Leader program," Luckey said. One of those students is Kayla Clark of Greensburg, Ky. Clark has volunteered at Colonel William Casey School's after-school "Camp Casey" program. "It's been a great experience for me because I've learned who I am," Clark said. "I've also learned that service is something I really enjoy doing. I've realized that helping people from the heart is what I want to do with my life." This story was posted on 2010-08-26 02:40:50
