Marcel Harris
Marcel E. Harris was born on July 15, 1986 to Marcia and Marshall Harris. From birth,
Marcel was destined for greatness as his name means “Great warrior”. His mother always
instilled in him that through God anything in life was possible. Marcel has always been
involved in his community, wherever it may have been. As a young man he mentored
youth groups in his home church, Tabernacle of David in Vallejo, CA. as a youth
supervisor. Now, more mature and a little older, he is even more involved. A 2009
graduate from Dillard University with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Systems
Management , he has devoted himself to a life of service through the medical field. At
Dillard, he is active in various organizations, including; Alpha Phi Omega National

endeavor was the chartering of the Collegiate 100 Black Men of Dillard University,
which is a community service based organization for males, whose focus is the mentoring
of youth. Being a member of Kappa Alpha Psi has always been a lifelong dream for
Marcel. His interest was sparked as a young child, he was a member of the guide right
program implemented through his church by way of his uncle and mentor Nicholas
McCray, a ’96 initiate to the Upsilon chapter. As a member of Kappa, Marcel plans to
assist in taking New Orleans Alumni to the next level. His dream is to see that one day
there is no Kappa who doesn’t or hasn’t heard about the good works of New Orleans
Alumni. Marcel currently works for the City of New Orleans in the Health Department,
