Sandra Richtermeyer has been appointed executive vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost at the Camden, New Jersey, campus of Rutgers University, effective June 14, 2023.

“I am honored and excited to work with Chancellor Tillis and the Rutgers–Camden community,” Dr. Richtermeyer said. “The university’s focus on research, academic excellence, and community engagement is an excellent fit based on how I have chosen to focus my life’s work.
