Priya Pandey, Ed.D.

Professionally, I am a passionate educator who strives to lead, mentor, train and teach as an educator in Higher Ed. I believe in sharing my knowledge & industry experience with my peers and students. My subject matter expertise is in fashion studies with an emphasis on fashion technology, technical pattern design, and textile science. In my career as an educator for 20 plus years, I have worked as a fashion faculty and a department chair at multiple campuses of the Art Institutes and championed academic advising to facilitate student success in their scholastic pursuit. I have been fortunate to teach at community college as well at the College of DuPage, Lisle IL.

Personally, I am a motivated individual with a keen commitment to give back to the community and share my experiences. I strive to be a role model and advocate for underserved communities across the Globe. As a child advocate with the Young Center, I have represented unaccompanied children immigrating to USA. My goal is to make a positive impact on their lives while providing the support they need. I believe in Mahatma Gandhi’s vision to be the change that I want to see in the world and contribute to making it a better place.
