Congratulations to our new university President, Dr. Ramesh Kolluru!

We have a new president — Dr. Ramesh Kolluru! After a unanimous vote by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, UL Lafayette enters its next chapter under a leader whose connection to the institution spans more than three decades. Dr. Kolluru’s commitment to strengthening the University’s academic mission, student experience, research enterprise and service to Louisiana is rooted in his time as a student, faculty member and senior administrator.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Ramesh Kolluru — the seventh president of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
