GLENVILLE, W.Va. — Glenville State College President Dr. Peter Barr announced Wednesday morning that he will retire effective in June 2017.
Barr will continue serving as the president of GSC through the 2016-17 academic year. The announcement was made at the annual fall opening meeting of faculty and staff.
“After extended and heartfelt discussion, Betsy and I have determined that our season at Glenville State College will end with the current school year. The past eleven years have been exceptional and could not have happened anywhere else. We have enjoyed the gracious hospitality, expansive tolerance, and generous friendship of the faculty, staff, students, and community at large. Nowhere else could we have learned so much, dreamed so much, and valued so much. Our years here have been an astonishing adventure,” Barr said at the meeting.
Barr was selected as GSC’s twenty-third president in 2006
