It’s a sad time at Sherman College.
Julie and Sheldon Clayton, Ph.D., have announced their intentions to retire at the end of the year (2008). What a loss for the college. These two have been with us a long time. Sheldon joined the faculty in 1984 and Julie the staff in 1989. They are planning to move to the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina.
In his announcement to employees and students, President Jon Schwartzbauer, D.C., expressed his mixed feelings on the couple’s retirement. “We will miss them greatly but are very happy for them as they enter this exciting time in their lives,” he said. “I remember being invited over to their house for dinner as a student and I even helped pour the concrete for their new garage back in 1996. I remember Julie always being very helpful to address our needs as students and how Sheldon was always able to attach something funny to the learning process which helped us students retain information.”
