Fram Virjee
Cal State Fullerton (Ret.)
Fram Virjee served as president of Cal State Fullerton from 2018 to 2023—leading a campus with one of the largest student populations in the nation’s largest system of public higher education, serving more than 40,000 students with an operating budget of over half a billion dollars. This appointment followed five years as executive vice chancellor, general counsel, and secretary to the board for the CSU statewide system. Prior to joining CSU, Virjee practiced law as a litigation partner at O’Melveny & Myers, one of the largest law firms in the nation and the oldest firm in Los Angeles, for more than 30 years. He served as the national Chair of O’Melveny’s Labor and Employment Practice Group, and as the firm’s diversity and inclusion partner. Virjee and his wife, Julie, are co-founders of Yambi Rwanda, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of Rwandans through the sustained provision for basic human needs—clean water, adequate nutrition, and healthcare—along with equitable access to quality education and the celebration of Rwanda’s culture and arts.
