Jessica Fry is leaving her position as the horse barn manager at Martin Community College after 2 1/2 years to pursue a bachelor's degree in Equine Industry and Business at West Texas A&M University. Fry, a 2004 graduate of MCC's Equine Technology program, helped care for and manage the horses at MCC and launched the program's website. Although this was a difficult decision for Fry who is passionate about her work, she hopes to return to MCC someday with more education and experience to give back to the program.
