Dr. Diana Garland was the founding dean of the Baylor School of Social Work.

It’s rare to find such community in a school Baylor’s size. Most of the other schools in U.S. News‘ top 25 are either much larger (such as flagship state schools, with massive resources to support such programs) or much smaller (roughly a third of the top 25 had undergraduate populations of…

A 40-day prayer guide was shared with local churches and via the Baylor website, and Baylor’s Office of Spiritual Life also solicited prayer requests from BU students, which were then prayed over by local church representatives.
