Spanish term or phrase: se trata del director...
The opening of the new academic period at the country’s largest School of Design has been entrusted to a first-class guest.

Se trata del Director del Instituto Nacional de Diseño de India (NID), Darlie O Koshy, quien ofrecerá la clase magistral titulada “Diseño en India, Desafíos y Oportunidades”, el próximo viernes 23 de marzo, a partir de las 10:00 hrs. en el Auditorio de la sede San Carlos Apoquindo de DuocUC (Camino del Alba 12575, Las Condes).

I am not comfortable with "It is the director..." at the beginning of a paragraph.

Thank you!
