University Innovation Alliance (UIA)

The UIA National Summit on Student Success Innovation has wrapped, leaving our minds full of new ideas & hearts full with pride and inspiration. ✨ We are thrilled with the energy and positive momentum we created together and can’t wait to see what we accomplish!

Our celebration of the team members from institutions that most recently joined the UIA continues with our Board member and University at Buffalo President Satish K. Tripathi. Dr. Tripathi, the first international-born president of UB, earned his doctorate in computer science from the University of Toronto and holds three master’s degrees in computer science and statistics. He has served as a fellow of both the IEEE and AAAS and holds honorary doctorates from the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Brock University. Satish’s career began at the University of Maryland, where he chaired the Department of Computer Science. He later led the Bourns College of Engineering at UC Riverside, significantly expanding enrollment and faculty while elevating the program in national rankings. Since joining UB in 2004, first as provost and now as president, Tripathi has spearheaded growth in research and student success. He co-developed the UB 2020 plan, driving increases in research expenditures, faculty recruitment, and academic diversity. Under his leadership, UB established innovative programs to foster student-faculty engagement and international collaborations, including partnerships in India and Singapore. As president, Tripathi continues to lead UB toward national prominence by enhancing research, equity, and regional partnerships. In 2022, thanks to Tripathi's transformative vision, UB was named a flagship of the SUNY system, recognizing its impact locally and globally. We recently sat down with Satish for an inspirational Weekly Wisdom interview where he shares insights on his unique path to becoming a higher education leader.

We are so humbled by the incredible feedback from the summit and the generous work of our camous liaisons, fellows and board for supporting and helping create our vision! #UIASummit

Attending the University Innovation Alliance (UIA) Conference was one of the best professional experiences I've had. It was truly inspiring to engage with innovative leaders across universities, each dedicated to driving changing and improving student outcomes. I left with new ideas, powerful connections, and a renewed commitment to supporting our students in every way possible. I'm still reflecting on so many of the sessions, but Michael Sorrell's words have stayed with me. He challenged us to live a life that matters and not allow difficulty or inconvenience to stop us from being great - because our students serve our greatness. https://lnkd.in/gcgJJeRn

Thank you to friends old and new for the vivid memories at the University Innovation Alliance (UIA) National Summit. I am still buzzing from the good vibrations of the music, the massage chairs, and the process maps. Shining a small light in a big dark cavern can feel awfully lonely at times. When we gather together with our friends, the room feels a lot brighter. The mission and message have never been clearer. So when are we gathering in Tempe again?

Last week's University Innovation Alliance (UIA) Summit was a fantastic experience. Our entire UCF team learned together and came home with new ideas, tools, and innovations.

Ever feel bogged down by administrative processes and think "there's got to be a better way?" The higher ed leaders at the University Innovation Alliance (UIA) National Summit last week certainly thought so! Get inspired by the 56 processes they want to improve at their colleges and universities. #processmapping #studentsuccess #innovation #highereducation #processimprovement
