President Ajay Nair

After a national search, Arcadia University proudly welcomed Ajay Nair, Ph.D., as the institution’s 22nd president on April 2, 2018. President Nair is a nationally recognized expert in student affairs issues and an accomplished social justice, race, and ethnicity scholar. Dr. Nair is the first person of color to be appointed president in the institution’s history and is among the first college or university presidents of Indian-American descent in the United States.

Dr. Nair supports a community of 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students, as well as thousands of students studying abroad from other U.S. institutions, and challenges them to make a difference not just in their lives but in the global communities we serve. He maintains the University’s strong commitment to putting students at the center of all we do.
