Champions of Change

Baylor University will honor and celebrate unsung heroes of Baylor's past and present through Champions of Change, recognizing and acknowledging the accomplishments of faculty, staff and alumni who have demonstrated efforts to foster greater appreciation and advancement of diversity, inclusiveness and equity for communities of color at Baylor and in Waco.

Honorees will receive an engraved plaque, and a list of Champions of Change will be recognized permanently in the future at a public space on campus dedicated to honoring cultural wealth at Baylor. Previous Champions of Change winners include Dr Elizabeth Palacios (alumni), Dr. Lakia Scott (faculty), and Dr. Dominique Hill (staff).
