U.S. Army retired Lt. Gen. Darrell K. Williams, a 1983 graduate of Hampton University who earned the title of Mister Freshman, will serve as the institution’s next president.
Williams was chosen from almost 300 applicants after the Board of Trustees created a presidential search committee in January 2021.
Coleman continued: “Running a university is complex, as was made evident by the global pandemic. So when President Harvey told us of his decision to retire, we knew we wanted to build upon what he has accomplished.” From 2015 to 2017, Williams led the Army Combined Arms Support Command and the Fort Lee, Virginia, a military installation.
He assured the welfare and safety of the over 25,000 students, staff and faculty, families, and support organizations. Williams also holds three graduate school degrees: a master’s in business administration from Pennsylvania State University; a master’s in military art and science from the Army Combined and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; and a master’s in national security strategy from the National War College, Fort McNair, Washington, D.C.
