Response to Harvey
"Our hearts are heavy at the devastation along the Texas coast and in Houston and southeast Texas from Hurricane Harvey. Our deepest prayers are with the families and communities who have experienced loss, and we pray that in the coming days they will be filled with hope, reassurance and restoration. We encourage our Baylor Family to stay safe and join together in prayer for God's comfort, mercy and protection for those impacted by this devastating storm." ~ Dr. Linda A. Livingstone, Baylor University President
