Congressman Earl L. "Buddy" Carter (GA-01) released the following statement today after Armstrong State University announced President Linda Bleicken will retire:
"Linda has made tremendous strides at Armstrong State during her time at the university. During her tenure, access to scholarships has increased, diversity in the student body has grown, and Armstrong graduated the largest class in the school's history. She has also worked diligently to increase veteran enrollment at the university and led the charge to certify Armstrong as a National Center for Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education.
"I want to thank her for her tireless efforts resulting in a brighter future for students, the university, and our entire community. I wish Mrs. Bleicken and her family the best in the future."
