Delaware State University has named Harry Lee Williams as its new president.
The university's board of trustees announced Friday that Williams will lead the historically black institution as its 10th president. Williams has been provost and vice president of academic affairs since July 2008.
Williams succeeds Allen Sessoms, who left last year to become president of the University of the District of Columbia.
Claibourne D. Smith, chairman of the board of trustees, has been acting president since Sessoms' departure.
Williams has held previous posts at University of North Carolina, Appalachian State University and North Carolina A&T University.
