Former Gopher basketball star and NBA player Quincy Lewis is funding a permanent scholarship at the University of Minnesota. The scholarship will be targeted to students of color enrolled in Lewis’ major: natural resources and environmental studies in the U’s College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS).
A reception to celebrate Lewis’ contribution was held on Monday, July 30 at Chianti Grill, 1611 Larpenteur Ave. W., St. Paul.
Lewis left the U in 1999 to pursue his dream of playing in the NBA. Drafted 19th overall, Lewis played several seasons for the Utah Jazz and Minnesota Timberwolves. More recently, he’s played for several European teams. In the off-seasons Lewis returned to take classes and earned his degree in 2004.
