There’s a cherished title that Baylor professor Leigh Greathouse earned through months of sacrifice, grit and faith — a title she hopes to help others be able to claim as well. “Cancer survivor.” Her experience motivates her work both as a teacher and as a researcher at Baylor.

When Baylor was chartered in 1845, it was one of the first coeducational colleges or universities west of the Mississippi River — about 10 years before any public institution of higher learning would introduce mixed-gender learning, and a full 75 years before American women were guaranteed the right to vote.
