    Congratulations, Professor Lindsey! For years I have seen you work many, many weekends making the VITA program a success. Few people are probably aware of how many hours you put in so that our students will have this opportunity to learn and serve taxpayers. Without your expertise, talent, and the time you put in, the VITA program at Marquette wouldn’t be what it is. What wonderful news to see your leadership and service recognized.
