Richard Bennett Brewer, Jr., known as Rick Brewer (born April 19, 1956), is the ninth president of the Southern Baptist-affiliated Louisiana College in Pineville, Louisiana. He succeeded the interim president Argile Smith on April 7, 2015, who filled in for eight months following the resignation in 2014 of the embattled former president, Joe W. Aguillard.
Brewer is the oldest of three sons of the former Frances Dike (born 1936) and the Reverend Richard Brewer, Sr. (July 15, 1934 – September 7, 1990). He was born in New Orleans, where his parents lived while the senior Brewer studied at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. From 1972 to 1975, Brewer, Sr., was the pastor of the Antioch Baptist Church of Edgefield, South Carolina. Upon his death at the age of fifty-six, his services were held there on September 11, 1990; he is interred in the church cemetery. Himself a minister, Rick Brewer was residing in Charleston, South Carolina, at the time of his father's death. Brewer's brothers are Martin Dike Brewer of Raleigh, North Carolina, and Tedd Wayne Brewer, then from Gainesville and later Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Reared primarily in North Carolina, Brewer received both Bachelor of Arts and Master of Business Administration from Charleston Southern University, a Baptist liberal arts institution founded in 1964 and located in North Charleston, South Carolina. From the University of South Carolina in the capital city of Columbia, he obtained the Ph.D. in educational administration. He also did post-graduate studies at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
