Meet the Team
Walter Tate
I grew up in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and joined the Academy in 2013. After spending close to 20 years bridging business and technology initiatives for portfolio management, securities trading and investment administration in the financial services industry, I appreciate having the opportunity to bring new ideas and concepts to the Academy by collaborating and creating solutions to help align people, process and technology while increasing operational effectiveness and philanthropic support.
Before becoming director of The Exeter Fund in 2016, I spent nearly nine years as one of the Academy’s regional directors of major gifts. One experience has enriched the other, and I enjoy the opportunity to connect with more alumni each year and am honored to lead a program that directly impacts the Exeter experience for every student.

I grew up locally and spent a lot of free time in Exeter as a teenager. The Ioka and Friendly’s were favorite hangouts. I commuted to UNH from home and was fortunate to be able to spend many hours in the Academy library studying and meeting students from around the world.
I joined the Academy in the Office of Institutional Advancement in March 2010 as the history file coordinator. In April 2011, I stayed with the Operations team, moving into my current role of data management specialist. My responsibilities include supporting all facets of Advancement by ensuring the integrity of constituent data and all related processes. I also work in gift processing and spend time throughout the year working with the alumni and parent team supporting events such as reunions and family weekend.
