Remembering Raj, Devoted Board Member and Supporter for more than 30 Years

August 29, 2025

It is with great sadness and reverence that we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Raj Aggarwal, a devoted leader, visionary, and steadfast advocate for the transformative power of exchange and education.

For more than 30 years, Dr. Aggarwal served as a committed member of the CIP Board of Directors and numerous committees. One of his many accomplishments during this time was his establishment of the CIP Endowment Fund, ensuring long-term support for our organization’s work and vision.

Dr. Aggarwal’s legacy will live on through the Raj and Karen Aggarwal Scholarship, which they established in 2024. This scholarship will provide opportunities for international professionals in need to participate in CIP programs. The fund honors Raj's roots and extends his and his wife's passion for global understanding to future generations.

Dr. Aggarwal will be remembered for his extraordinary leadership and unwavering commitment to building bridges of understanding worldwide. His life’s work leaves an enduring imprint on CIP and the countless individuals whose lives have been enriched through international exchange because of his vision.

Our deep condolences are with his family at this time. We will miss Raj greatly.
