Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) welcomes the University System of Georgia appointment of Dr. Arthur Dunning as the President of Albany State University (ASU). Dr. Dunning has served ASU as interim president since November of 2013. With such an increased importance on higher learning in todays competitive world, it is critical that our universities continue to improve the education of our young adults, said Congressman Bishop.
