Annual campaign shines light on Baylor’s research efforts
Very few universities today can (or would) claim to be preeminent research institutions that conduct their work for Christ’s glory — but that’s Baylor University today. Recognizing that all truth is God’s truth, 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 research efforts.
Our R1 status allows us to bring that rare perspective to the table as we work to solve the world’s biggest problems:https://t.co/OcP4ttImoQ

Even as Baylor research addresses challenges around the globe, our roots remain anchored here in Texas.

Baylor professors from a wide range of disciplines also shared the message, from their personal points of view:
I love working at a place like @Baylor, a Christian university that values and provides resources for serious academic research.
Throw in the sports part of it, too, and there really aren’t many places where I could do what I get to do here!#SicEm 🐻https://t.co/CHkkv9GybH
