Steering Change - A Life Mission to Give BAC

Richard Synder's, Hon'24, enduring commitment to the BAC continues to influence the community, despite the conclusion of his official term as a trustee. Now serving as Trustee Emeritus, he remains actively involved in the institution's future—encouraging students to take in the complete architectural blueprint of their lives and to never stop learning or giving back to their communities. In his speech after receiving an honorary doctorate in design leadership, Richard told graduates to continue 'using the superb education you have as a bedrock for moving forward and seeing yourself as a leader'.
