WACO, Texas (June 29, 2015) – State Rep. Charles “Doc” Anderson, R-District 56, congratulated Baylor University President and Chancellor Ken Starr today on his fifth anniversary as the University’s leader with a special presentation.
Anderson presented Judge Starr with a Texas flag that flew over the State Capitol on June 1, 2015, in honor of the five-year milestone. The presentation took place Monday morning in the president’s office at Pat Neff Hall.
“Some folks are very accomplished in word, some folks very accomplished in deed, we are blessed, the whole Baylor Nation is blessed and our community is blessed to have someone who fits all categories – word, deed and policy. We really appreciate it,” Anderson said as he presented Judge Starr with the commemorative flag. “We look forward to many, many more.”
