Laura Barr is retiring

Laura Barr, administrative coordinator for the Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts, will be retiring in January 2012.

She started working for CCU in September 2004 as a temporary office assistant and worked with Bonnie Senser and also Trish Brennan in the Dean's Office. She became the administrative specialist in the Department of English in June 2005 and then came to the Dean's Office in January 2007 as administrative coordinator. Her last day at CCU will be Jan.12, 2012. She plans to become a full-time grandma, babysitting her new grandson, Elijah Jackson Barr, so her daughter-in-law Kate can go back to work.

"I have mixed feelings about leaving because I love the faculty and staff in the Edwards College, but I am so happy to be able to take care of my grandson so he does not have to go to a daycare center," says Barr.
