The Straits Times: LASALLE College of the Arts appoints first Singapore-born president
14 Feb 2026
Dr Venka Purushothaman will be LASALLE College of the Arts’ seventh president—a promotion from his prior roles as deputy president and provost.
Dr Venka told The Straits Times of his dream for LASALLE: “It is a simple one: to be a future-facing institution that is audacious in its imagination and courageous in its purpose. Simple does not mean easy. But in LASALLE’s 41-year history, every challenge is an invitation for us to be creative.”
