A&Spire to Illuminate Signature Academic Initiatives
The following Signature Academic Initiatives were envisioned and vetted through several pathways and committees at Baylor University during the past few years. They merit consideration for support because they focus on assisting Baylor to achieve the lofty strategic aspirations in Illuminate. Further vetting by the University may result in the advancement of only a few of the strategic initiatives outlined here, while other new initiatives may emerge in the future. We need this flexibility in planning for a five-year time interval. Further, each academic department has created a five-year hiring plan that may or may not include the following initiatives:
Health
Materials Science
Human Flourishing, Leadership and Ethics
Baylor in Latin America
Data Sciences
