Fran Harris, WNBA champion, Shark Tank alum will deliver keynote at 2026 Moody College Graduation
The Journalism and Media alumna looks forward to addressing the next generation of leaders and communicators
Fran Harris, Moody College of Communication alumna, author and sports executive, will return to The University of Texas at Austin next month to speak to a crowd of thousands of students and their loved ones at the 2026 Moody College Graduation Ceremony.
During her time at UT, Harris majored in journalism and feels her academic career taught her to become the leader she was then and still is today. Harris served as captain and leading scorer of the Longhorns’ undefeated 1986 women’s basketball team, guiding them to a national championship. Following her graduation, she helped USA Basketball win gold, then later joined the WNBA in 1997 where she helped the Houston Comets secure their first championship title.
