HUNTINGTON â When Betty Jane Cleckley graduated from Douglass High School in Huntington, she had to leave the city to further her education because Marshall University was still segregated.
So she left. She earned a bachelorâs degree from Marquette University in 1958 and then a masterâs degree in social work from Smith College. She was awarded a doctorate from Brandeis University and followed that up with a postdoctoral certificate in higher education management from Harvard University.
In 1989, she came home after being hired at the university she could not attend. Shortly after, she worked hard and fought hard to establish the Office of Multicultural Affairs, now called Intercultural Affairs, but is still creating diversity on campus and providing a home away from home for minority students.

This is the fourth of 10 essays selected to be published in the Deseret News annual Christmas writing contest, “Christmas I Remember Best.”
During World War II our father was killed in a tragic accident while he worked at the large copper smelter in Douglas, Arizona. This left my widowed mother, Ruth Beecroft, with nine children to raise on her own. Times were tough and money was scarce. The Christmas I Remember Best was in 1946; we called it “The Giving Christmas.”
I had a wonderful older brother named Robert who was often called “Bob.” Bob was a star in our family. As a high school student, Bob had an outgoing personality, a great “Mickey Rooney” smile, and a disposition to match. He was well liked and considered “popular,” so I listened carefully to everything he said.
