Harrison Lauded on WTIC-AM; Goldstein in The Huffington Post; Hawkapella in Hartford Courant; and More
On April 27, the NCAA announced its new president -- Mark Emmert, current president of the University of Washington and a former provost at the University of Connecticut. University of Hartford President Walter Harrison had been considered a strong candidate for the position, a fact that was noted in much of the media coverage of Emmert's announcement. WTIC-AM sports reporter Scott Gray noted in his Wednesday morning "Comment from the Sports World" that Harrison would have made a great NCAA president, but that the University and the Hartford community should breathe a sigh of relief that he will be staying here because of all that he has done during his 12 years as University president. Listen to Gray's commentary. You can also read a transcript of Gray's commentary (scroll down to "Wednesday, April 28 Sports Commentary").
