Pratima Gandhi to Lead the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point

Pratima Gandhi has been selected to serve as interim chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Her appointment is effective July 14.

According to the most recent federal data, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point enrolls over 8,100 undergraduate and nearly 700 graduate students. Women represent 56 percent of the undergraduate student body.

For the past five years, Gandhi has served as the university’s vice chancellor for finance and administration. Prior to her current role, she was the chief financial officer and treasurer of Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where she worked for nearly three decades. Earlier, she was an auditor at Virginia Tech.

“UW-Stevens Point has made significant progress in recent years through financial stability, enrollment growth, and community partnerships,” said Gandhi. “I look forward to continuing that momentum.”

Gandhi received her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Indiana University.
