Louisiana Christian University president announces retirement
Louisiana Christian University President Dr. Rick Brewer has announced his retirement from higher education administration after serving for nine years as the ninth president of Louisiana’s only Baptist institution of higher learning, according to a press release issued by the university in Pineville.
Brewer has accepted another position keeping him in Christian ministry and education.
“We are grateful the Lord has opened the door of service as Head of School at Master’s Academy in Vero Beach, Florida, placing Cathy and me closer to our aging parents,” Brewer said.
Since Brewer’s tenure began in March 2015, LCU has advanced from one to five graduate programs, added the C.S. Lewis Honors Program and established academic partnerships with Louisiana Tech University and community and technical colleges statewide.
“On behalf of the LCU board, we would like to thank Dr. Brewer for his leadership as president of the university,” said Anthony Bunting, Board of Trustees chair. “ Early on, he created a vision to improve the performance of the university, developed master’s degree programs, and improved the facilities and properties. Congratulations to Dr. Brewer on his retirement.
“I appreciate Dr. Brewer’s friendship and his commitment to serving the Lord. God bless Rick and the plans He has for him.”
Under Dr. Brewer’s leadership, the university has raised over $50 million from more than 3,000 donors.
