The Medallion Fellowship

The Medallion Fellowship is a society recognizing cumulative giving to Baylor University. Members at the first three levels are awarded medallions and at the fourth level, a statue, commissioned by Douglas W. Crow, retired professor of German and Sculptor-in-Residence and a Baylor faculty member from 1970-2003. Members at the next two levels are awarded a hand-etched Waterford crystal vase and a custom stained glass hanging commissioned by artist Bryant Stanton, respectively. This circle of supporters provides a foundation to the prosperity of the institution, and, as beneficiaries of their philanthropy, the university community recognizes the significance of this fellowship.
