The first time I sat down with Dr. Peter B. Barr, new President
of Glenville State College, he didn't offer his considerable
resume for examination. Nor did he volunteer details about
his numerous accomplishments while working in Conway and
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Instead, he spoke of a passion for education and of community
service. He also described Glenville State College as a "hidden
jewel."
He spoke of his love for West Virginia, its tradition of embracing
a hard-work ethic and the importance of values and family.
Both he and his wife were drawn to Glenville after their initial
visit. "I happen to believe things happen for the right reasons,"
Barr said.
"I know this is the right place for us to be," Dr. Barr said of his
decision to come to Glenville. Barr is a native son, originally from
Huntington, who has now returned after a long absence.
