Initiatives

Goal 1

Prepare our most vulnerable students and graduates of 2020-2023 for security and success in the post-pandemic economy

  • Promoting degree completion among dropouts Baylor University

    Baylor University has made a strong commitment to improving degree completion among underrepresented students who dropped out or did not return to the university. In order to facilitate students finishing their education at Baylor, the initiative will offer specialized support for non-returning students, including tailored outreach programs, robust career pathways, and continued check-ins each semester.

Goal 2

Support and partner with our communities and government in an inclusive recovery through and after COVID-19, focusing on displaced workers, adult learners, PK-12 systems, economic development, community health and COVID-19 support

  • Baylor’s COVID initiative Baylor University

    Given Baylor’s position within the local community of Waco, it began a multi-pronged strategy to drive COVID awareness and vaccinations within the local community. As part of this effort, Baylor created an open and transparent COVID dashboard to detail real-time information on COVID cases and vaccination rates (students & employees), transformed into a mass testing and vaccination site for the community, using its own facilities to administer tests and vaccines, and built its own testing lab to process PCR exams to drive 100% testing of the student body each week during Spring 2020.
