Harrison Keller.
Honestly, not sure how I feel about this. I would think we were/are in a situation where we would be able to recruit a top leader in higher education. This guy has never lead a university. Kinda dissapointed.
Harrison Keller, PhD
COMMISSIONER OF HIGHER EDUCATION
The Commissioner of Higher Education is appointed by the Board of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and serves as the CEO of the agency. Dr. Keller came to the Coordinating Board from The University of Texas at Austin, where he served President Gregory Fenves as Deputy to the President for Strategy and Policy. Previously, he served as Vice Provost for Higher Education Policy and Research and founded the OnRamps and Texas OnCourse initiatives. Earlier in his career, he served as Senior Education Policy Advisor and Director of Research for Rep. Tom Craddick during his tenure as Speaker of the Texas House, and as a project director at UT Austin’s Charles A. Dana Center.
Dr. Keller received his B.A. with honors from the University of Notre Dame, and went on to receive master’s and doctoral degrees in philosophy from Georgetown University. He also served in the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence officer. A native of the Texas Panhandle, Keller resides in Austin with his wife Gena and their three children.

Shari Henley (Testerman), 74, of Denton passed away on June 4, 2024, in Austin, Texas. She was born on March 8, 1950, in Denton, Texas. She was preceded in death by her parents Francis and Irma Testerman, as well as her beloved husband Don who passed in 2019.
She graduated from Denton High School and attended North Texas State University (UNT). She worked for the university for 18 years in the Registrar’s, Provost’s, and Chancellor’s offices before leaving to become a full-time mother. Later in life, she worked as a substitute teacher for Denton ISD and as a poll-worker in many Denton elections.
Shari married Don Henley on October 6, 1984, in Denton. Over their 34 years of marriage, they traveled and eventually became members of the Denton Bible Church community.
She was a lifelong “Dentonite,” of which she was very proud. She was a definite “people person” with many friends with whom she loved socializing. Shari did not like to miss out on the party.
She played piano, did needlepoint and crochet, and was very talented in typing and shorthand. She was also an avid sports fan, following the Dallas Cowboys and Texas A&M as favorite teams, and hated to lose.
