The Lindsay Scholarship is awarded to outstanding College of Education students who are making a difference in their community through an internship in an informal educational setting.

Kristin Wook is the recipient of the Outstanding Literacy, Learning, and Leadership Student Award for the December 2020 graduation.

Erin Allen, Rebecca Murillo, Irene Meikle (not in photo) and Sujey Benavides are working as College of Education Ambassadors for the 2020-2021 school year. Student Ambassadors represent the student perspective of the college to prospective and new students and family, the University of Arizona community, and other groups/organizations as called upon. Ambassadors communicate and present information as needed at various programs and events (e.g., Arizona Experience, Arizona Road Trip, and other recruitment events, career fairs, new student orientation). In exchange, Ambassadors are provided with skill development and leadership opportunities. If you have any questions about how to apply to be a College of Education ambassador, please contact Angela Botello.
