My conversations with leaders, faculty, staff and students have helped me appreciate the vibrant culture that makes SRU special, and I am convinced this is a forward-looking institution with an inspiring vision for the future,” Vemala said.
Vemala’s academic background includes a doctorate in finance and international business from Texas A&M International University, a master’s in computer science and an MBA from the University of South Dakota, and a bachelor’s in computer engineering from Bangalore University in India.
