Marcia and Cameron Barr

Marcia Comeaux Barr and the late Cameron Barr met on a blind date while attending Southeastern and were a couple ever since. They have been strong supporters and advocates of their beloved Southeastern and their fraternity and sorority, Sigma Tau Gamma and Alpha Sigma Tau, since graduating and moving through their respective careers.

Marcia and Cameron have both shared a strong commitment to the value of education. They established numerous scholarships, including the Marcia C. Barr Endowed Scholarship in Kinesiology, the Marcia and Cameron Barr First-Generation Endowed Scholarship, the Thomas & Virginia Barr Endowed Scholarship in Athletics, the Sigma Tau Gamma Alumni Association River Bell Classic Endowed Scholarship, the Marcia & Cameron Barr Summer School Aid for Athletes Endowed Scholarship, the Thomas H. Tedder, Jr., Endowed Scholarship in Education and the Marcia & Cameron Barr Capital Campaign for Southeastern.

They have supported, both financially and through their extensive volunteer work, the Alumni Association, the Southeastern Foundation, the Lions Athletic Association and nearly every sports team that Southeastern has. Cameron was former member of the Alumni Association, and former president of the Lions Athletic Association. Marcia currently serves as secretary on the Southeastern Foundation Board of Directors.
