FHU Announces New Titles for President David R. Shannon and Dr. Milton Sewell

Freed-Hardeman University has announced new titles for President David R. Shannon and Dr. Milton Sewell. Shannon will assume the role of chancellor, while Sewell will become chancellor emeritus. The title changes correspond with Dr. Keith Harris's transition to the role of FHU's 17th president in June 2026. Shannon will continue to represent the university and build relationships, while Sewell will remain involved as chancellor emeritus. These changes aim to deepen donor engagement, strengthen enrollment efforts, and provide continuity and momentum for the university.
