Q&A with Sacramento State President Luke Wood
Dr. Luke Wood made history on July 16, 2023, when he became the ninth president of Sacramento State. The then 41-year-old was not only the first alumnus to take over the school’s top spot, but also its youngest president ever (not to mention one of the youngest presidents of any university in the U.S.). After honing his leadership skills at San Diego State, where he served as vice president for student affairs and campus diversity, Wood embarked on a busy first year on the job at his alma mater that included triumphs like spearheading the nation’s first Black Honors College, which launched this fall semester. As he settles into year two, Wood talks about navigating tough challenges and stadium-sized opportunities on campus, envisioning a downtown footprint, and the good-natured fight night coming up between Sacramento State and UC Davis.
