ROBERT HUNTER CHAMBERS, III Seventh President 1984-2000 President Chambers resigned after a six month sabbatical effective June 30, 2000. He served W11:Cas the seventh president for more than fifteen years and will be greatly missed. During his tenure, there were a significant number of improvements made to the physical appearance of the campus. New buildings were erected and old buildings were renovated. He was instrumental in forming a WMC campus abroad in Budapest, Hungary. Throughout his career as president, Dr. Chambers still found time to teach an honors course each semester. Whenever he spoke to prospective students visiting the campus, he would talk about the feeling that you get when you see a college for the first time - that it has to have the right "feel" for you. Dr. Chambers' compassion and caring for everyone and everything about this campus gave it the right "feel" for all of those who attend Western Maryland College.
