Presidential Search Prospectus

Baylor University's Presidential Search Committee recommends to prospective candidates and others interested in the search for Baylor's 14th president, the Presidential Search Prospectus which can now be viewed online. A presidential profile, which may be found within the prospectus, was developed in cooperation with the Presidential Search Advisory Committee, and with the benefit of input provided during listening sessions with students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members.

Presidential Search Process

The search process is driven by two committees: a regent committee that will recommend a candidate to the full board for election, and an advisory committee that works closely with the regent committee to evaluate potential candidates. The advisory committee includes a wide range of representatives from different areas of the Baylor family, including alumni, faculty, staff and students.
