The Board also approved expanding the University's longstanding motto by adding Pro Mundo (For the World) to Pro Ecclesia, Pro Texana (For Church, For Texas).
"Now that Baylor has risen to a Christian Research 1 university, we have an opportunity to shine God's light around the world and serve others in even more significant ways," Baylor President Linda A. Livingstone, Ph.D., said. "Our world is becoming increasingly complex and challenging, and we must lead in emerging fields and remain competitive in academics and athletics. Baylor brings an important Christian perspective to help solve grand challenges, particularly at the intersection of health and engineering. Our students will always remain our top priority, and we must prepare them to lead now and into the future in an ever-changing global environment."
The Baylor University motto unchanged since 1851 is inscribed on the official Baylor seal, its iconic class rings and the medallion worn by the President during commencement exercises. It will be updated to Pro Ecclesia, Pro Texana, Pro Mundo on new campus installations and uses beginning this summer.
