This is Arcadia 2025.
"Arcadia is uniquely positioned to become an agile and nimble organization, an organization that can grow and develop from disruption, not simply remain resilient. This is the kind of foundation required to dream big." - Dr. Ajay Nair
"It is my privilege and honor to serve as your 22nd President."
The 22nd President of Arcadia University
Ajay Nair, Ph.D.
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.
Welcome
At Arcadia University, we lead with generosity, giving our time and attention to one another and to our global communities; we lead courageously, encouraging innovation and authenticity; and we lead with humility, engaging in self-reflection and self-critique. We are a reflection of the world that we want to live in.
As a leader in international education, Arcadia University has achieved positive transformation in Glenside, Philadelphia, and around the world. We are uniquely positioned to make a difference not just in the lives of our students, but in the global communities in which we serve.
It’s a blessing to lead an institution that transforms the delivery of liberal arts education to produce work-ready and life-ready students.
