\"Baylor<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the Baylor Family far and wide celebrated the announcement that Baylor had joined the top-tier of American research universities as an \u201cR1\u201d research institution<\/a>. Baylor is now recognized by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Learning as a doctoral university with \u201cvery high research activity\u201d — one of just 137 such institutions nationally to reach this level.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most notably, as President Livingstone said in her email to the Baylor Family<\/a>, it’s an accomplishment that \u201cvery few, if any, universities have achieved: maintaining our foundational Christian mission while reaching R1 status as a top-tier research university.\u201d<\/p>\n

We’ve had a lot to celebrate at Baylor this year — most obviously, the men’s basketball national title and football’s Big 12 championship — but it was fun to (again) see the Baylor Family celebrating this news on social media yesterday.<\/p>\n

\n

Not surprisingly, Baylor professors were among the first<\/a> to share<\/a> the news<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I guess I\u2019m now officially a full professor at an R1 university. https:\/\/t.co\/pHpnnDAJHX<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/cZw1AIkoSO<\/a><\/p>\n
