Biola University will name its film school after Esther Snyder, who in 1948 co-founded In-N-Out with her husband Harry in Baldwin Park.
LA MIRADA — Biola University’s film school will be named after a co-founder of In-N-Out, the college said this week, after an unspecified but “significant” contribution after the Baldwin Park-based burger chain.
According to Biola, the gift on behalf of Esther L. Snyder is the largest in the school’s 115-year history, and it will help fund a $92 million 52,100-square-foot film school studio facility and establish the In-N-Out Burger Scholars Fund to support educational opportunities for foster and at-risk youth.
Esther Snyder, with her husband Harry, founded In-N-Out in Baldwin Park in 1948. She died in 2006, but left a long legacy of giving, according to the company.“This naming of the Snyder School and the inspirational vision of Mrs. Esther Snyder will be a testimony to students and alumni for generations that humility in leadership, Christ-like love of others, entrepreneurial tenacity and upright business principles are virtues worth living,” Biola President Barry H. Corey said in a statement.
The new film studio will include a soundstage with additional edit suites, production offices, motion capture, Foley and scoring stages, mixing rooms, color correction lab, classrooms, faculty and staff offices and a full theater, according to the university.
