About Sue Holt Getterman

A University Regent for nine years, Sue's dedicated support for Baylor has earned her status as one of the most decorated volunteers in University history. Having already established a history of generous gifts to student scholarships and other priorities, Sue and Ted inquired about areas of unmet need where their assistance might prove especially helpful to Baylor. And so began the partnership with women's softball that has helped catapult Baylor to national prominence in women's collegiate athletics. Sue's and Ted's steadfast example of leadership and generosity is an encouragement to the entire Baylor family, and their legacy of kindness will serve the Baylor today and for generations to come.
