Ruth Lande Shuman, Founder and President of Publicolor The not-for-profit organization Publicolor, engages at-risk students in their education and communities. Through a continuum of youth development/educational programs, Publicolor empowers students to plan and prepare for college and careers, which starts by teaching them to paint vibrant colors in their institutional-looking schools. By teaching the marketable skill of commercial painting, students also acquire strong work habits that are transferable to success in school, career and life. Ruth Lande Shuman, founder and president of Publicolor, is an industrial designer who uses color to transform public spaces. She is deeply committed to engaging at-risk students in their education and to push back hard at our country's alarming dropout rate. In 2000, on behalf of Publicolor, Ruth received the President’s Service Award, the nation’s highest honor for volunteer service. |
