Celebrating 20 Years of Bonner Love By Duane Bonifer Two decades ago, 10 people gathered at what was then Lindsey Wilson College and set out to change the world. The eight students and two Lindsey Wilson staff members started the Bonner Scholars Program. Through its first 20 years of service, the Bonner Program has developed a network of Lindsey Wilson students and alumni who have become change agents throughout the world. Lindsey Wilson Bonner Leaders have given collectively more than 380,000 hours of community service hours to dozens of community partners throughout the region. They have also traveled to U.S. cities and internationally to help meet a community's needs.

On Friday night, October 24, 2025, current Lindsey Wilson Bonner Leaders and alumni gathered in the Norma and Glen Hodge Center for Discipleship to celebrate two decades of service, along with Luckey's leadership and her impact on the program.
