He will begin serving in this role by June 1, 2010.

Dr. Mike Milton, president of RTS/Charlotte has been serving as the interim president of RTS/Orlando and we appreciate his service to the Orlando campus during this interim period.

We look forward to serving with Dr. Sweeting and welcoming his family to the Orlando campus as we continue to prepare men and women for various forms of ministry around the world leading multitudes to faith in Jesus Christ and building His Church.
