The Penn State trustees named the University of Louisville’s president Neeli Bendapudi to succeed Eric Barron as the school’s top administrator.
The unanimous board vote to hire Bendapudi makes her the first woman and first person of color to serve as the 98,000-student institution's next president.
“Being president of this institution is a sacred trust, and it’s truly the honor of a lifetime. I am in awe of Penn State’s ‘we are’ spirit and of the transformative power of a Penn State education,” she told the board after the vote at a State College hotel and conference center. “And the Penn State community, which is like no other, anywhere.”“We have found a values-driven leader who will help realize the very best of this institution,” said trustee David M.
“I loved, loved my time at the University of Louisville. It’s a phenomenal university,” Bendapudi said at a news conference after the vote.
