This talk explored the value of HBCUs to the college landscape.

Dr. Harry L. Williams became the 10th president in the 124-year history of Delaware State University on Jan. 10, 2010. His DSU tenure has been defined by his visionary goal of leading the University to become the number one Historically Black University in the country. He has become well- known throughout the state and beyond through his “friend-raising” efforts and his success in focusing attention on the many outstanding attributes and achievements of DSU. He is married to Dr. Robin S. Williams and their union has produced two sons, Austin and Gavin.
