Lasting Legacy Dinner
6 PM • OCTOBER 13, 2023 • BARFIELD DRAWING ROOM
Join us for an evening celebrating three outstanding leaders of the Baylor Family who have each left an indelible, irreplaceable, impactful legacy in our community. Come together with other Baylor Alumni and honor Drs. Robert Baird, Preston Dyer, and Rufus Spain by attending this inaugural Lasting Legacy Dinner.
Tickets and partner opportunities are available now!
In each community, there are individuals who leave a lasting legacy. Never is that more true than in the Baylor Family. Baylor Line Foundation’s Lasting Legacy Award is presented to individuals who selflessly dedicated their lives and careers to bettering Baylor University and the Baylor Family. We recognize these individuals as members of the collective conscience of Baylor as their work has promoted and provided greater accountability and inclusion.
As leaders throughout their time at the university, speaking truth to power and building a Baylor for the better good, Drs. Robert Baird, Preston Dyer, and Rufus Spain are the perfect honorees for our inaugural Lasting Legacy Award. At this intimate dinner, hosted in the heart of campus, together we can all celebrate the contributions of these outstanding men, reflect on the progress their dedication delivered, and look to the future for how we can all continue their lasting legacies.
