Statewide campaign shines light on Baylor’s research efforts
Very few universities today can (or would) claim to be preeminent research institutions that fearlessly proclaim the name of Jesus — but that is Baylor’s aim. We recognize that all truth is God’s truth — so at Baylor, our academic strivings and research efforts are all about learning more about what God has made on this earth, and inspired in human hearts.
Last Friday, the university took that message public to celebrate the great research being done at Baylor, using social media, billboards and other advertising to call attention to the impactful work being done by Baylor faculty and students:
At Baylor, our faith is the “why” behind our pursuit of excellence.
The world needs a leading research university that is unambiguously Christian — and Baylor can be that place:https://t.co/XGMNrdyoY8
