William Paterson University, known as WP, officially William Paterson University of New Jersey (WPUNJ), is a public university in Wayne, New Jersey, United States. It is part of New Jersey's public system of higher education.

Founded in 1855 and named after American statesman, lawyer, jurist, and signer of the United States Constitution William Paterson, William Paterson is the third-oldest public institution in New Jersey.<ref name=facts>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> William Paterson offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees through its five academic colleges. During the fall 2023 semester, 6,546 undergraduate students and 2,880 graduate students were enrolled.

HistoryEdit

William Paterson University was founded in 1855 as the Paterson City Normal School. For more than a century, training teachers for New Jersey schools was its exclusive mission.<ref name=WPHistory1>History Template:Webarchive, William Paterson University. Accessed July 7, 2022.</ref> In 1951, the university moved to the present campus to a site originally known as Ailsa Farms, that was purchased by the State of New Jersey in 1948 from the family of Garret Hobart, twenty-fourth vice president of the United States.<ref>Hobart Manor Template:Webarchive, William Paterson University. Accessed July 7, 2022. "Since 1951, William Paterson University has been situated on one such estate. Called Ailsa Farms, the property was owned by the family of Garret Hobart, the twenty-fourth vice president of the United States who served under William McKinley."</ref>

The original manor house was built in 1877 in the style of a castle, and was the home of John McCullough, a Scottish immigrant who made a fortune in the wool industry.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It was later purchased, enlarged and made the weekend retreat and summer residence of the Hobart family. Today, the building is known as Hobart Manor and is home of the Office of the President and the Office of Institutional Advancement. Hobart Manor was designated a national and state landmark in 1976.<ref>History of Hobart Manor Template:Webarchive, William Paterson University. Accessed July 30, 2018.</ref>

The university changed its name to Paterson State Teachers College when it relocated from Paterson in 1951. In 1966, the curriculum was expanded to include degree offerings other than those leading to a teaching career. In 1971, it was renamed William Paterson College of New Jersey. The change of name honored William Paterson, who was the state's first senator, its second governor, and a United States Supreme Court Justice appointed by President George Washington, and reflected both the institution's beginnings in the city that also bears his name and the legislative mandate to move from a teachers' college to a broad-based liberal arts institution.

The Commission on Higher Education granted William Paterson university status in June 1997.<ref name=UniversityStat>Listing, State Colleges and Universities All Accredited by Middle States Commission on Higher Education Template:Webarchive</ref><ref name=HistoryWP>NJ Commission on Higher Education accepted the college's petition to become William Paterson University of New Jersey(WPUNJ), University History Template:Webarchive.</ref>

Dr. Richard J. Helldobler, former interim president of Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, Illinois, became the eighth president of William Paterson University. He took office July 1, 2018<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> to replace the retiring Kathleen Waldron, who had served as the school's president since August 2010 after the retirement of Arnold Speert.

In November 2021, hundreds of workers and students protested planned layoffs at the school following a $30 million budget shortfall.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

FacilitiesEdit

William Paterson University's buildings include:

  • University Hall, an 80,000 square-foot academic building which opened in January 2016 and was funded in part by the Building Our Future Bond Act, is a mix of general-use classrooms, dedicated laboratories, and clinical spaces for programs in nursing, communication disorders, and public health.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
  • The David and Lorraine Cheng Library is the academic knowledge center of William Paterson University.<ref name=Library1>William Paterson University, David and Lorraine Cheng Library Template:Webarchive.</ref>

  • The 1600 Valley Road Building, which includes interactive classrooms, the Russ Berrie Institute for Professional Sales <ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation

|CitationClass=web }}</ref> with its professional sales laboratory, and the Financial Learning Center (a simulated trading floor).

  • Hamilton Hall, the communication building, houses TV broadcast studios, the WPSC radio station and sound engineering arts facilities. Hamilton Hall, originally Hobart Hall, had its name changed in summer of 2019.

The new name is in reference to Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and first United States Secretary of the Treasury.
  • The University Commons, including the John Victor Machuga Student Center with its food court and the Speert Hall dining facility, is the hub of campus life, providing a venue for the entire University community to gather and interact.
