I work as a caterer and bartender and we catered a party at Dr. Beard’s house. He was always the life of the party and had a natural way of making everyone smile, not to mention he would constantly check up on the workers to make sure we were all okay. Shepherd has lost a great provost and a great man. I wish all the best to his family in their time of grieving.

Dr. Scott Beard was a remarkable musician, provost, and teacher.
Having worked with Dr. Beard as a board member on the Stubblefield Institute, and Pre-Law Advisory Council, I have had the unique opportunity to witness firsthand how dedicated he was to the success of Shepherd University students. Dr. Beard was also one of the debate and forensic team’s biggest advocates – on behalf of the Shepherd debate team, you will be sorely missed.
My prayers and thoughts go out to Alan, and Dr. Beard’s family, friends, and loved ones.
