Barry & Denita White

Barry & Denita White established the Barry O. White Endowed Scholarship in 2019 to assist Risk Management & Insurance (RMI) students in the College of Business & Social Sciences. The White’s owned White & Robertson Insurance Agency for many years before selling it to Lincoln Agency Insurance Company in 2014.
