As chancellor of IUPUI, I am delighted to welcome you to our campus. My official installation took place on November 17, 2015, but my connection to IUPUI dates back to 1985, when I became a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
One of the core campuses of Indiana University, IUPUI is located in the heart of Indianapolis, the nation’s twelfth-largest city. IUPUI’s strategic plan, Our Commitment to Indiana and Beyond, guides us toward enhancing student success, academic excellence, and community engagement while further strengthening our campus community.
Come join IUPUI as we transform education and research into the energy and innovation that will help improve our city, our state, and our world.
It's IUPUI's 50th Anniversary! Attend an event, share your story, and learn how to get involved in campus' biggest celebration yet.

In accord with the goals of both the IUPUI Welcoming Campus Initiative and the IUPUI 50th Anniversary celebration, "Welcome to the Neighborhood!" is a historic exhibit in the hallways of the first floor of the Science & Engineering Laboratory Building on Blackford Street.

On May 12, 2018, Chancellor Nasser H. Paydar presented the IUPUI graduating Class of 2018. "One of the most powerful legacies you leave behind is your belief — like Madam C.J. Walker's — that education can change lives for the better."
