Gordon College's 39-Year Old Sociologist-President is Ready to be Inaugurated
Lindsay is definitely a boy-wonder. He is only thirty-nine years old, has written a well-received book on evangelical power-brokers, and, due to his research, has a very large Rolodex filled with influential evangelical leaders. Here is a taste of the piece:
Though he's never been a college president before, Lindsay has spent countless hours talking with CEOs, big city mayors and even former U.S. presidents about their lives and work. His Platinum Study, featuring interviews with 550 leaders in various fields, is said to represent the largest body of interview data ever collected from a cross section of American leaders.
He's also no stranger to helping institutions grow. He's built a reputation as a capable fundraiser for numerous projects, including Rice's Program for the Study of Leadership, which he founded.
Now Lindsay plans to leverage both his experience and his power-packed Rolodex to help Gordon raise its profile. Starting Oct. 14 in downtown Boston, he'll conduct a series of onstage interviews with corporate executives whom he's interviewed for the Platinum Study.
