Meet Rutgers’ 22nd President
William F. Tate IV took office as the 22nd president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, on July 1, 2025.
A nationally recognized social scientist, his research—focused on producing theoretical, epidemiological and geospatial models to understand social determinants of STEM indicators and educational attainment, social stratification, and developmental outcomes—earned him election into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Education.
Prior to Rutgers, he served as president of Louisiana State University, where his leadership team achieved record-setting gains in research, student success, economic impact, philanthropy, and legislative support. He spent nearly three decades in faculty and administrative positions at Washington University in St. Louis and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
