The new plan, developed through a campuswide strategic planning process launched in July 2023, sought answers for the question: “What does the world need Baylor for?” Thousands of faculty, staff, students, alumni and others participated in the process through listening sessions, interviews, online submissions and the development of white papers. A common idea developed from this effort: Baylor has a significant opportunity to adopt a global perspective that also fulfills its scriptural calling.
