Saturday morning SU Chancellor Kent Syverud dropped by the Ten Eyck Boathouse to take in the Conlan Cup during the first spring racing season of his tenure.
Appointed by the University’s Board of Trustees in September 2013, he assumed the leadership post in January 2014, becoming the 12th leader of the University since its founding in 1870. Chancellor Syverud came to Syracuse University from Washington University in St. Louis, where he served as Dean and Ethan A.H. Shepley Distinguished University Professor since 2006. Prior to that, he served eight years as Dean at Vanderbilt Law School.
Syverud earned a bachelor’s degree magna cum laude from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in 1977, a law degree magna cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1981, and a master’s degree in economics from the University of Michigan in 1983.
In this photo, Chancellor Syverud is chatting with (left to right) men's head rowing coach Dave Reischman and former men's head rowing coach Bill Sanford '63. Given the chancellor's background, perhaps topics of conversation included, "How's the Big House compare with the Carrier Dome?" and, "What's a Hoya?"
