May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time when conversations about wellbeing take center stage nationwide.

As Palo Alto University (PAU) approaches its 50th anniversary, I reflect on our remarkable past and eagerly anticipate the future.

Many Palo Alto University (PAU) alumni find themselves with opportunities they didn’t anticipate during their studies.

PALO ALTO, CA – Farouk Dey, a transformational leader in higher education and workforce development, has been appointed president of Palo Alto University (PAU), effective July 01, 2025. Guided by PAU’s vision to improve well-being through insight into human behavior, Dey is poised to advance PAU’s leadership in psychology and behavioral science education.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we are spotlighting Nicole Brown, Assistant Department Manager and Program Manager for the MS program at Palo Alto University. An alumna, dedicated mentor, and passionate advocate for mental health, Brown’s journey at PAU is one of resilience, commitment, and empowerment.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we proudly reflect on the incredible women featured in PAU News since the start of this academic year.
