Posted 6/15/2010
The conclusion of the alumni banquet was marked with a presentation to honor Herb and Shirley Frazier’s service and dedication to Barclay College. Herb will be retiring as president at the conclusion of the fiscal year, June 30. His leadership as president of Barclay for the past five years was highlighted in a video presentation. In that time enrollment has more than doubled and new online courses and Advantage! sites have been added.Over the first five months of the year the advancement department asked friends and alumni of the college to send in notes of remembrance and financial gifts in honor of Herb’s commitment to the college. The outpouring of support was overwhelming. At the banquet Herb and Shirley were presented with a symbol of recognition from board of trustees representative, Marjorie Thompson, as well as a book containing the notes from friends and a promo-tional check for the amount of gifts that had been given. The amount given to Barclay College in Herb’s honor has increased since the banquet. It is currently at $22,747.00. Herb has designated that those funds be used to update the college’s vehicles. All current vehicles have over 170,000 miles. Herb stated, “What a blessing! Since our faculty and staff travel to so many functions for the college, this is a great opportunity to make sure they can travel safely and reliably.” Any remaining funds will be used for the new residence hall. After the banquet, the board of trustees hosted a reception for Herb and Shirley in the Broadhurst Student Center. “It was a great evening, I am so humbled. The friends and alumni of Barclay have always been so generous in their support and I thank them for it.” Herb said.
