- Title:
- Deputy Athletics Director/Senior Woman Administrator
Harris comes to Syracuse from the University of Toledo, where she served as deputy athletic director, chief operating officer and senior woman administrator. In her role, she provided executive leadership for strategic planning and daily operations across a 17-sport program and direct oversight of student-athlete support services, strength and conditioning, and NIL strategy and implementation. She served as sport administrator for football, women's basketball and multiple other programs, while representing Toledo on the Mid-American Conference Administrators Council. During her tenure, Toledo experienced one of the most successful periods in department history, marked by sustained conference championship contention and postseason success. The football program's performance included three top-65 NFL Draft selections over the past three years, one of just 13 programs nationally to achieve that distinction. Women's basketball consistently led the conference in attendance and advanced to postseason play.
Prior to Toledo, Harris held senior leadership roles at Grand Canyon University and Florida Atlantic University, where she was recognized with the Award for Excellence and Innovation in Undergraduate Advising. She earned a master's degree and bachelor's degree in sport administration from the University of Louisville, where she was a four-year varsity student-athlete for the women's rowing team.
"Bryan's vision for Syracuse is truly inspiring, and I'm honored to have the opportunity to join the department during such an exciting time," says Harris. "Syracuse has an incredible tradition, strong momentum and a bright future ahead. I look forward to working alongside Bryan and the entire athletics team to support our student-athletes and help build sustained success. My family and I are excited to join the Syracuse community and contribute to the continued growth of Orange Athletics."
