Buchman oversaw a remarkable period of transformation and growth during his tenure as president of Saybrook from 2006 to 2009. Digging into the university’s tradition of humanistic psychology, Buchman expanded those original ideals to create a unified structure of humanistic education across the school’s many disciplines.

The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California was similarly transformed under Buchman’s direction as president of that institution. His leadership helped define what a great art and design college should be in the 21st century, increasing enrollment in degree programs to record numbers.

On this week’s episode of UNBOUND, President Long and Buchman have a friendly conversation on the power of creativity, how to empower communities to claim creative ownership, the freedom that artistic constraints can foster, and so much more.
