Cline Meets With College Leaders

Congressman Ben Cline Monday hosted his annual higher education roundtable at Southern Virginia University with higher education leaders from across Virginia’s Sixth District to hear directly from them and discuss ways to make higher education more affordable for every family and ensure access to opportunities that fit students’ needs best. Cline was joined by Southern Virginia University Provost Dr. James Lambert, Washington and Lee University President William Dudley, Mary Baldwin University President Dr. Jeffrey Stein, Roanoke College President Dr. Frank Shushok Jr., Blue Ridge Community College President Dr. John Downey, and Radford University Carilion President Dr. Bret Danilowicz. “With more than 20 colleges and universities within Virginia’s Sixth District, we need to do the hard work of finding solutions to improve student performance, boost post-graduation job placement and keep tuition affordable,” Cline said after the event. “It was great to be with so many higher education leaders in Buena Vista today to hear their ideas and share my actions to ensure affordability and opportunity for students.” 10/18/2023 12:00 AM
