New Sacramento State President J. Luke Wood
A new era at Sacramento State has begun this week. Dr. J. Luke Wood is now the ninth president in campus history. For President Wood, the new role is a homecoming for the alumnus whose time as a student here laid the foundation for his career in education. President Wood stopped by the CapRadio studios in June to share how his experience as a first-generation college student, navigating both the foster care system and housing insecurity, will shape his vision for current and future Hornets.
