MARGARET BARCLAY JOINS COLLEGE COUNCIL
OSWEGO -- Gov. George Pataki recently named Margaret
Barclay of Pulaski to the SUNY Oswego College Council.
Barclay will fill a vacancy created when her
husband, Will, successfully ran for the 124th New York State Assembly
District. Margaret Barclay brings a background in education and
development to the College Council.
"It's an honor," she said of the appointment. "I'm
looking forward to serving the school. I think it's an amazing
institution that does great things for the area."
Her diversity of experiences includes working for
Manlius-Pebble Hill School, Vera House, the Milton Academy in
Massachusetts, retired State Sen. Roy M. Goodman, and the Manhattan
District Attorney's Office. She earned her degree in sociology at St.
Lawrence University and has served on many community boards, including
WCNY, Preservation and Revitalization of Pulaski, and Arts &
Culture for Oswego County.
For the past few years, Barclay transitioned from
the professional world to full-time mother, raising the couple's young
children, Harry, 3, and George, 1.
"Will's family has a long history of involvement at
SUNY Oswego," Barclay said. Will Barclay's mother, Dee Dee Barclay, and
grandmother, the late Dorothy Barclay, also served on Oswego's College
Council.
