Mamta Accapadi is a mom, chocolate enthusiast, Bollywood fan, and educator. She experiences greatest joy when all of those identities converge. She most recently served as Vice Provost for University Life at the University of Pennsylvania, and has held administrative and educator roles at Rollins College, Oregon State University, University of Houston, The University of Texas at Austin, and Schreiner University.
Mamta’s career began in new student orientation and multicultural affairs. Over the past 25 years, Mamta has loved working alongside students, educators, and families to co-create organizations and experiences that uplift the dignity and joy of students as they make meaning of their lives in college and beyond.
Mamta is currently based in Austin, TX, where she can be found near a dance studio, around a lacrosse field, and/or breaking into spontaneous choreography to Bollywood music, much to the character development of her teen daughter.
