On the heels of his ACLU Student Activist honor, Lincoln has now won a $3,000 scholarship towards his college education.
Lincoln is an amazing youth, someone who not only will make the world a better place - he already has through his volunteer hours, taking the lead at the Weber High GSA, mentoring peers, and truly exemplifying "service above self."

 In the wake of the recent suicide of 14 year old Iowa bullying victim, Kenneth Weishuhn, OUTreach is partnering with Ogden PFLAG, SAGE and Weber State University LGBT Initiatives to present the documentary "Bullied." After the documentary an intergenerational panel will address their own experiences of being bullied and bullying others, answering questions and sharing in dialogue with the community.
Panelists are:
Charles Frost, SAGE and the genius behind beloved Sister Dottie;
Harrison Spendlove, Weber State University LGBT Initiatives;
Nicholas Maughan, Weber State University Student;
Alex Smith, Weber High School Student.
