By Joseph Lyell —

On Tuesday morning, more than 200 people gathered on the steps of Grawemeyer Hall to welcome President Neeli Bendapudi on her first day at U of L.

Bendapudi, named president April 3, is the first woman and the first person of color to be president of U of L.

Her first remarks echoed those she made when she was hired, saying her mission is to help make U of L a great place to learn, work and invest.
