Diversity in Arts & Sciences
The College of Arts & Sciences is home to a diverse group of faculty, students and staff. As such, we believe that God calls on us to respect and honor the unique differences we bring to the spaces we inhabit on and off campus, and to be mindful of the interaction we have with each other. In research, scholarship, teaching, and service, Arts & Sciences is committed to bringing diverse experiences and perspectives to the table, believing that only with a diverse array of voices can we live into our Christian mission to nurture and discover the dynamic, creative and cutting-edge ideas that help us promote human flourishing and advance better solutions to societal challenges.
Diversity of many sorts—intellectual, racial, ethnic, economic, national origin, (dis)ability—lies at the core of Baylor’s mission as a Christian university, where concern for the “other” is witnessed in the Christian Scriptures and in other Christian teachings. The principles of diversity are central to our mission to pursue research and teaching excellence, to shape our students and prepare them for the global world, and to care for one another as Christ commands us to do. Diversity in its many forms promotes the sharing of new ideas and perspectives that is central to the advancement of research and knowledge, creating a vibrant academic landscape built upon intellectual inquiry, Christian commitment, and belief in the dignity and worth of all human beings.

Among the many draws to Baylor University is the chance to learn from elite faculty members at a Christian research university.
There are plenty of ways to measure this, from having dozens of faculty recognized among the nation’s most cited researchers to the University’s attainment of a top-30 national ranking for both undergraduate teaching and research. Another sign of Baylor’s elite faculty: the many researchers recognized as fellows in their fields.
You may remember the name Deonte Epps (BA ’13) from a post we wrote a couple of years ago, as the Baylor alum was working his dream job at ESPN as a content creator. Today, Epps is not only a content associate (a promotion from his last role); he’s also an Emmy winner, thanks to his work with ESPN’s NFL Live, which won the Emmy for Outstanding Studio Show – Daily.
The academic year is complete: finals graded, books returned, students graduated — and Baylor faculty honored! Congratulations to this year’s Baylor professors of the year:
