Dr. Trevor M. Bates was installed as the 19th president of Wilmington College at an inauguration ceremony March 25.

Bates assumed the office of the president on Jan. 1, 2021, following a national search in the wake of former President Jim Reynolds' departure in summer 2020 to become president at Millikin University, located in his hometown, Decatur, Ill.

Bates is the first African American president in the institution's 152-year history. He most recently served as vice president for academic affairs, dean of faculty and professor of health sciences at Mercy College of Ohio.
