Continue a Legacy

Honors at the Lindner College of Business is rooted in a rich history and visionary legacy. It’s the story of two, independent donors, Carl H. Lindner, Jr. (who founded Lindner Honors-PLUS in 1997) and Marvin P. Kolodzik (who founded Kolodzik Business Scholars in 2008), who led efforts to build a preeminent honors experience for undergraduate business students. Lindner and Kolodzik sought to attract top students who could develop through innovative academic and experiential opportunities.

Honors students and alumni continuously thrive, accelerating in their careers, breaking into new frontiers and elevating the college’s reputation.
