Vrushti Patel

As a passionate academic and twin mom, I have always held a deep interest in teaching and mentoring. Motherhood has reinforced my belief that nurturing from a young age is crucial in shaping confident, responsible individuals. This insight deeply influences my student-centered teaching philosophy—grounded in empathy, patience, and holistic development.

In addition to my academic contributions, I have actively taken on several administrative responsibilities, including serving as a Member of the Board of Management, Academic Council, and School Board of Studies at AURO University. I also led initiatives as the Convenor of the Legal Aid and Community Development Centre and contributed to maintaining academic integrity through my role on the Committee on Unfair Means. These roles have strengthened my leadership skills and commitment to fostering inclusive, quality legal education.
