An interview with UB President Satish Tripathi is featured in the current edition of International Educator magazine, published by NAFSA, the world's largest nonprofit professional association dedicated to international education.

The interview highlights the fact that President Tripathi is UB's first internationally born president: "I feel very fortunate to have such a multifaceted cultural background, and it certainly has shaped my outlook in key ways--as a scholar, a teacher, and now as a university president. The examples I have seen throughout my own scholarly experience abroad--and here at the University at Buffalo, where we are fortunate to have one of the largest international enrollments among U.S. universities--have taught me that geographic and cultural diversity in the classroom and in the campus community contribute to an exceptional living and learning environment for our students."
