Baylor Centennial Professors

Nominations open January 15. Proposals should be submitted via email to Joaquin Lugo by March 19. 

About the Designation

The 1945 Class requested that a tenured faculty member be designated as the Baylor Centennial Professor each year. To be considered, a faculty member must apply for a development grant. 

Development grant proposals would outline undertakings that facilitate the development of a faculty member's ability to function as a university professor and contribute to academic life, and which would, therefore, be of benefit to the individual and the University. Such projects might include foreign or domestic travel for study or research, the development of innovative teaching materials, or other professional development activities. Priority will be given to projects that include scholarly activities and to projects that are unlikely to be funded by other sources. 

Nominations Process 

Submit a CV and a one-page statement that includes:

• Name of the project
• A brief explanation of the project
• Suitability of project (reasons why this project will be of benefit to the individual and the University)
• Plan of work
• Expected outcomes
• Budget
