Shealy ’05 James Ann Sheley ’76 LIFETIME GIVING Will ’76 and Libby Cromley ’77 share fond memories of falling in love at Newberry, making valuable connections, and expanding horizons through liberal arts education. Will, a third-generation car dealer, and Libby, a former tech school professor, have been married forty-two years. Though they grew up in nearby towns, Will and Libby said they probably wouldn’t have met if they hadn’t come to Newberry College. They met through their involvement in Greek Life. He was Theta Chi. She was Kappa Delta. “My big sister in the sorority introduced us,” she said. “She set us up on a date. Never dated anybody else after that.” During their time as students, the two remained heavily involved on campus. For them, forging relationships was one of the most rewarding aspects of their time at Newberry. “After my senior year in high school, my father said, ‘I want you to go over there and do the best you can, but the people you meet and the friends you make at college will mean far more to you in life than anything else you’re going to bring back home,’” he said. “And he was right.” Their college days also opened a lot of doors for them, expanding their interests beyond their majors. “A liberal arts education is so beneficial because that got me interested in art – I do watercolor painting – and singing in my church choir and in the Lexington County Choral Society,” she said. For Will and Libby, Newberry provided not only education for a career, but education for life.
