Since starting at MCC, McGlincy has worked under every president, has taken on tremendous responsibilities coordinating all events that come through the College Center and is a member of several committees. It's very rare to work in Student Activities for the length of time he has and his dedication to his employees and to the college is a tell tale sign of how much he loves it here, said Daly.
"I've been working with Terry for over 20 years. I remember the day he hired me. I was pregnant and he hired me anyway. Not too many people would do that. He is very selective when it comes to hiring potential candidates," said Daly. "He won't hire just anyone. He'll wait until he finds the candidate that he feels fits the best qualification-wise as well as with the environment. That's one of the reasons we are such a close knit group. He treats everyone as equals. You'll never find a better supervisor."
McGlincy will miss the day-to-day activities, the challenge of putting together large scale events that happen often without a lot of time, meeting different people from vendors to governors and such that come with being in his current position, but is ready to move onto the next phase in his life. Everyone working in Student Activities is sad to see McGlincy go, said Daly.
"I would not have lasted in a job going on 28 years without having as great a supervisor as he [McGlincy] is. He's fair to a fault and understands what kind of environment it takes to keep people happy," said Daly.
McGlincy will be teaching five law classes in the fall and also retaining his position on most of the committees he is currently a part of.
"If I had to describe my time in Student Activities, I'd say it's like standing in the ocean waiting for a wave to come, but before you can stop to enjoy it too much another wave is rippling toward you. It was exhilarating," said McGlincy.
