Victor Ukpolo
Victor O. Ukpolo (born 1950 in Lagos, Nigeria) is chancellor of Southern University at New Orleans.〔The surname ''Ukpolo'' is pronounced without the "k" which appears in the spelling.〕
Ukpolo is most known for his efforts in restoring SUNO to operation after Hurricane Katrina, specifically his role in obtaining funds for SUNO's recovery, including $44 million for student housing, $32 million for classroom buildings, and various grants for other academic purposes.〔Harold Clark Jr., (Nigerian native, Dr. Victor Ukpolo, secures $44m to construct student housing for New Orleans University. ) (Fox 8 live announcement ), featuring Janet Napolitano on WVUE-TV New Orleans Channel 8 Fox.〕 In 2012 the Carnegie Corporation selected Ukpolo as one of 45 naturalized citizens of the United States for Carnegie's Americans by Choice award.〔 The notice of the 2012 awards appeared in the ''New York Times'' on July 4 (〕)
==Modest beginnings==
Ukpolo came to the United States at age 23 as a student at the University of Maryland at College Park from which he received his bachelor's degree. To finance his education, he worked in a restaurant washing dishes and drove taxicabs in the District of Columbia. He received his master's degree and Ph.D. from American University in the nation's capital. From there he steadily climbed through various assignments and challenges to the chancellorship at SUNO. He is thought to be the first native-born Nigerian to head a university in the United States.〔(From Dishwasher to Vice Chancellor: US university appoints Nigerian as Its Vice Chancellor. ) (SUNO ''Faculty Handbook'' ), frontispiece (accessed 2009 March 6).〕
