The future is very bright for Louisiana College, and I look forward to continuing the partnership that makes each one of our organizations so much better together." Alexandria Mayor Jeff Hall said that Brewer used his "talents, insight, and vigor to position the college as a regional leader in both academics and Christian service, giving first-generation college students the kind of hands-on, minds-engaged education that the brain craves."<ref>"Celebrating Five Years," ''Columns: The Magazine for Louisiana College Alumni & Friends,'' Summer 2020, p. 7.</ref>
