It is with a very heavy heart that the University announces the passing of former Alabama State University President, Dr. William H. Harris, a resident of Hilton Head, South Carolina and a native of Georgia; who transitioned yesterday. He was 79 years-old.

 

"The University extends its deepest condolences to President Harris's wife, former First Lady Wanda Harris, his son, Dr. William J. Harris; and his family, friends, former employees, alumni and the myriad people whom he impacted," said ASU President, Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr. 

 

The family announced that final arrangements are pending, and will be shared once finalized.
