On October 21, St. Francis College (SFC) officially unveiled the Palla Pavilion. Named after Dr. Anil Kumar Palla, the chairman of University Hub, one of SFC’s international recruitment partners, the Palla Pavilion is located on the fifth floor of 179 Livingston Street and is the office that serves the College’s graduate students.

Over the past two years, University Hub has been instrumental in collaborating with SFC to increase its international graduate-student population. In this span of time, the graduate program has grown exponentially, from 100 students in the 2020-2021 academic year to more than 1,785 students currently.

A medical doctor by training, Dr. Palla serves as the managing director of Vesta Technology Solutions, a global technology and education-services organization. For more on Dr. Palla, please read his Cumberland University faculty bio.

SFC is grateful for the assistance and expertise of Dr. Palla and University Hub.
