Bill Summary
Commending Robert R. Lindgren.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution commends Robert R. Lindgren for his distinguished 19-year tenure as president of Randolph-Macon College (RMC), a private institution located in Ashland, Virginia. During his leadership from 2006 to 2025, Lindgren oversaw significant transformations, including the construction of 17 new or renovated campus buildings funded by over $110 million in private support, the addition of 14 academic programs and majors, and substantial enrollment growth of more than 50 percent. The resolution highlights Lindgren's fundraising success, which exceeded $240 million and consistently placed RMC in the top 30 nationwide for alumni support, as well as his reputation as "the students' president" for his accessibility and commitment to student well-being. Additionally, the resolution recognizes Lindgren's broader contributions to higher education, including leadership roles on national boards, his academic background with degrees from the University of Florida and Oxford University, and his deep involvement in the Ashland community. The resolution formally commends Lindgren on his retirement and directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to prepare a copy of the resolution to be presented to him as an expression of the General Assembly's admiration.
