The wife and daughter of William G. Hardin III, dean of the College of Business at Florida International University, are among the dozens of presumed dead after catastrophic flooding swept through Central Texas in the predawn hours of July 4.
According to multiple sources, including a letter from the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida and a statement from The Webb School, a private college preparatory school in Tennessee, the Hardin family’s home in Hunt, Texas, was washed away by floodwaters while the family was inside. Dean Hardin survived the disaster, but his wife, Alyson, and their daughter, Josephine, were lost and are presumed dead, the bishop wrote.
William “Bill” Hardin has been dean of FIU’s College of Business since May 2021.
