Edward Waters College
During his career, Glover maintained a relationship with his alma mater, where he is a member of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. In 2005, he served on Edward Waters College's presidential search committee, which was formed after a plagiarism scandal led to accreditation problems and the resignation of President Jenkins.[15] That committee took two years to select Claudette Williams in 2007.
Glover joined EWC's board of trustees in 2008, and when Williams resigned effective May 15, 2010, Glover was quickly approved as interim president. In February 2011, the position was made permanent.[2] In the summer of 2014, Glover was a finalist for the HBCU Digest male president of the year. In an interview with the Jacksonville Daily Record, Glover recounted his journey to become president of his alma mater.[16] In September 2017, Glover announced that he would retire in May 2018.[17]
