Career
Lindgren became interested in higher education administration after he started working in the office of University of Florida President Robert Marston. In 1980, while Lindgren was still in law school, the director of University development, Bill Stone, asked Lindgren to organize a fundraising campaign of $1,500,000 for the building of another Levin School of Law building. Marshall Criser, the new president of the University, decided to replace Bill Stone with Lindgren as the Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations when Bill Stone left. With just four and a half years of experience, Lindgren was given the opportunity to head a prominent fundraising program at a major public university.
