Richard “Dick” Fletcher, Baldwin Wallace ’67 has been invited to speak at Baldwin Wallace University’s 2021 Fall Commencement Ceremony. Fletcher has certainly maintained strong ties to his college and chapter. After graduating from Baldwin Wallace University, earning a his bachelor’s degree in 1970 then his MBA in 1976, Fletcher went on to have nearly 50 years of employment at the University.

From the University press release, “From his early days as a member of the varsity basketball team and Phi Kappa Tau fraternity to his ascending roles of leadership, Fletcher brought teamwork, authenticity, humor and dependability to BW as a welcoming face to students, families, trustees and alumni over the years.”

Fletcher primarily served towards advancing the development of the institution, overseeing several multimillion-dollar fundraising campaigns for the university as the Associate Vice President for Institutional Advancement. In 2007 Fletcher was named the Senior Vice President, a position he served in until his retirement in 2020.

Alpha Omega chapter at Baldwin Wallace University honored Fletcher in 2012 at their 70th anniversary celebration with the Taylor A. Borradaile Alumnus award. The award is intended to honor distinguished alumni for outstanding work in their chosen field, an honor Fletcher is most certainly deserving of.

The commencement will take place on December 11th, 2021.
