We extend big congratulations to Natalia Hall, Bay Class of 2021, for being selected as Connecticut College's 2025 Senior Class Speaker. Natalia double-majored in architecture and art history, and she delivered a poignant speech at Conn's commencement ceremony on May 18, 2025.
A few of her words ring especially true for us here at Bay: "The study of architecture is more than building design. It is the curation of space, the study of people and place. With that being said, I argue that we are all architects. ... In a world that increasingly seems to be designed for us to fail, we must maintain our foundation. As architects, we will analyze, adapt, and recognize existing conditions. Through site analysis, we will practice true stewardship, authentic engagement, and intentional action. We will challenge conventions, innovate, and think outside the canon. We can, and we will, design and build a better world."
