Every semester on the night before the Baylor University graduation ceremony, the Graduate School hosts those graduating with a Doctor of Education, Ed.D.; Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D.; Doctor of Psychology, Psy.D.; Doctor of Science in Physical Therapy, DScPT. and the Doctor of Physician Assistant Studies, D.Sc.Pa. with a dinner honoring them, their advisors and their families. Below are names and photos of those who attended past dinners. Please click on the first image to scroll through the chosen group of photos.

A tradition since 1993, the Doctoral Dinner provides an opportunity for graduates to be honored among their family and friends. The Provost, Deans, Department Chairs, and Mentors congratulate our doctoral graduates and each graduate has a photo taken with his or her family and mentors. Graduates will have an opportunity to speak about the Baylor experience and plans for employment.
