RETIREMENT OF PITTSBURG STATE PRESIDENT STEVE SCOTT
______
HON. JAKE LaTURNER
of kansas
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, August 24, 2021
Mr. LaTURNER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the service of a fellow Kansan, and the man who handed me my college diploma--
Pittsburg State University President Steve Scott. Like myself, President Scott is a proud child of Cherokee County in Southeast Kansas. He first graduated from Pittsburg State in 1973, then went on to serve as a faculty member, department chair, dean, vice president of academic affairs, and provost before assuming the presidency in 2009.
His leadership has defined our university and community for the entirety of his service, and his time at the helm of Pittsburg State will leave an imprint for years to come. I am personally indebted to his example and mentorship in my own life, and I know that countless other Gorillas would say the same.
While I am sure President Scott will now be able to enjoy some well-
deserved rest along with his wife Cathy and their grandkids, I am equally certain that he will continue teaching and serving the citizens of Pittsburg and Southeast Kansas in whatever he does next.
