Regent University has named U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann as the new dean of the Robertson School of Government, someone who has visited Regent Law’s Family Law class before to discuss her experience with adoption and foster care.
“Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a distinguished leader of national and global reputation,” said Chancellor Robertson. “She has displayed exemplary vision, character, integrity, and skill throughout her career in government. We are delighted to welcome to Regent this remarkable public servant whose vast experience and principled leadership will provide an extraordinary role model for our students and graduates to emulate.”
Bachmann and her husband have five children, having worked with a private foster care agency to house 23 children in their home during the 1990s. Bachmann’s children were home schooled and also attended private Christian schools, and her political career stemmed from her interest in education reform.
Bachmann was the
first Republican woman from Minnesota elected to the U.S. House of Representatives,
serving as a United States Congresswoman representing Minnesota’s 6th District
from 2007 to 2015. “It has been the highest honor to serve the American people
and to uphold conservative principles on a national scale,” Bachmann stated. “I
am thrilled to now direct my focus to preparing the next generation of
government leaders at Regent University.”
