In honor of an inspiring couple, and with appreciation for their generosity, Maryville University will dedicate the Anna M. and Whitney R. Harris Conference Room, located in Gander Hall.
Anna and Whitney Harris exemplify the power of public service and philanthropy to inspire, motivate and drive change. Both individually and as a loving couple, Whitney and Anna have created a legacy through their generous commitments of time, energy and financial resources to help build a better world.
Whitney’s extraordinary career as an attorney, during which he served as a key prosecutor of Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials, sparked his lifelong dedication to international justice and peace.
Named an “Ageless Remarkable St. Louisan” by St. Andrew’s Resources for Seniors, Anna has served as a volunteer and champion for civic and cultural organizations like the St. Louis Artists’ Guild, the Children’s Home Society of Missouri, American Cancer Society, International Photography Hall of Fame and many others.
