Northern Kentucky University President Ashish Vaidya received the NKY Community Award Tuesday from the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce.
The award is presented by the Chamber to individuals, businesses, or organizations throughout the Northern Kentucky metro that have made a positive difference in the community.
Vaidya has been president at NKU since 2018.
“Since being named as NKU’s president in the fall of 2017, Dr. Vaidya has worked tirelessly to provide a strong and inclusive environment for the more than 16,000 students that attend one of the fastest-growing universities in Kentucky,” President and CEO of the NKY Chamber Brent Cooper said. “His commitment to empowering our future workforce shows a dedication to not only the students and the university but also the NKY Metro community in which it resides. For that, we are proud to recognize him for all his years of hard work.”
