With your help, the future is now
The gifts of generous alumni and friends—both small and large—have been the building blocks of our success. Against this backdrop, we have great expectations for the future. We hold firm to our roots of Christian commitment and academic excellence with eyes toward even greater achievement. Pro Ecclesia. Pro Texana. Pro Futuris.
As a Christian university committed to scholarship of the highest quality, Baylor offers a distinctive voice to global conversations about crucial issues. The University already has embraced the charge—making strides toward the five-year goals developed to support Pro Futuris, our strategic vision launched in May of 2012—and continues to press on toward achievement in each area.
