Ron White, an adjunct marketing instructor at UCA, recently received a Certificate of Appreciation for Community Service Leadership from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. White was recognized for his work in developing a volunteer income tax assistance program for low-income families in the Delta region of Arkansas. Through the program, eligible families receive free tax return preparation and are made aware of benefits like the Earned Income Tax Credit and the availability of matching funds for purchasing a home, starting a business, or going to college. White also is the federal budget outreach director for Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.
