Harris graduated from the university in 1986 with her undergraduate degree. She has often referred to her time there as her "formative years." She later went on to earn her law degree from the University of California, Hastings. 

It's another event added to an already big year for the university. Howard just celebrated its 100th homecoming earlier this month. 

The campus will be closed next week and classes are remote, FOX 5 has learned. Howard says does not have a statement to share at this time but additional details are expected.
