UNI AD Takes on the Crescent City
So, what’s the scoop? Well, UNI President Mark Nook spilled the beans on Tuesday, announcing that our guy, David Harris, has snagged the same gig at Tulane University.

President Nook gave a shoutout in a press release, saying, “We sincerely appreciate the contributions that David and his team made during his time at UNI. We wish David, Felicia, and their family the very best at Tulane.”

UNI’s AD Legacy at Tulane
Here’s a fun fact that’ll make you raise an eyebrow – Harris isn’t the first UNI AD to make the jump to Tulane.

UNI to Tulane – it’s becoming a bit of a tradition, don’t you think?
It’s like our ADs are passing the baton down the Mississippi River, leaving a trail of Panther pride all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. We’ve got to hand it to them; they sure know how to make waves, both in the Panther Nation and now with the Tulane Green Wave.
