On the recordJune 21, 2023
Today, I rise to congratulate Linda Rushing on her retirement from her leadership role as vice chancellor at the University of Arkansas at Monticello College of Technology- Crossett. Linda has worked tirelessly for almost five decades to serve her community through dedication to teaching, student administration, and academic leadership. Linda began her career at Forest Echoes Vocational Technical School in 1975 where she was hired as a business instructor. She continued to serve this institution through 1987 when she was named director of the school. When Forest Echoes Vocational Technical School merged with UAM to become UAM-CTC, she was named vice chancellor, where she has served for 20 years. Linda's commitment to excellence and the success of her faculty, staff, and students at the UAM College of Technology-Crossett has immensely benefited the greater Arkansas community. Her passion for serving others in leadership has cultivated a campus environment in which students can thrive and one that has served the workforce needs of southeast Arkansas and its communities. I congratulate Linda on a commendable career of leadership and public service and thank her for all she has done for the State of Arkansas. Congratulating Joe Fox on His Retirement
