Since her arrival on campus, Baylor President Linda Livingstone has often discussed Baylor’s aim to fill a unique space in the world of higher education — to become one of the few preeminent Christian research universities in the nation. Baylor’s academic strategic plan, Illuminate, lays out some of the ways the university plans to meet this […]
How many people feel led to give back, out of their own paychecks, to the very organization that employs them? I’ve certainly never considered giving back anywhere else I’ve worked. But at Baylor, it’s common practice; last year alone, BU faculty and staff combined to give more than $1.7 million back to the university in […]
Thank you, Baylor Family — you made BU’s first university-wide Giving Day a success! In basically 24 hours, your 2,700+ gifts raised more than $520,000 in support of current and future Baylor students. (For context, that’s both more gifts and more money than TCU raised during their last giving day — because beating TCU is always […]

In new […]
