In 1995, Gov. George W. Bush appointed
McClure to the Board of Regents, where he
serves as chair of the Committee to Develop
Criteria for Future System Expansion and the
Committee on Audit. He is also a member of
the Legislative Committee and the Commit
tee on Academic and Student Affairs. In ad
dition, McClure serves as the Board of Re
gent’s liaison to the Association of Former
Students.
McClure said Board of Regents members
are responsible for development and imple
mentation of policies that affect system parts,
including things such as curricula, admission
standards and faculty tenure.
Anthony Edwards, a junior biomedical sci
ence major and president of the Association
of Black Leaders in Science, said he has met
McClure a few times and was nothing short
of impressed.
“I think it’s very impressive to be president
in 1976, especially when African-Americans
did not come to A&M until 1964,” Edwards
said. “I guess what impresses me the most is
lie’s d$yy/i-tp-earth, and as someone of his
status, it was unusual.”
Leday said McClure is an inspiration to
him and that he aspires to one day be like
him.
“He (McClure] has definitely earned his
position working through the ranks,” Leday
said. “Looking at people like him work
through the ranks inspires people like me.
He’s a positive light to others and is really
easy to talk to.”
Edwards said he thinks McClure is an ex
ample of what African-American students
can do with hard work.
“1 think, in terms of African-American stu
dents, he shows what we can strive to
achieve at this University,” Edwards said. “If
we work hard, we can do anything we put
our minds to. It represents not only the di
versity of A&M but also the open mindedness
of people.”
McClure’s impressive resume is a testa
ment to those who believe barriers do not ex
ist if they are not seen as obstacles.
“I think, in a sense, he represents being
African-American or a minority and being an
Aggie are not mutually-exclusive events,” Ed
wards said. “You do not have to make a
choice between them.”
