Alumni & Friends Awards
As part of the Baylor University School of Engineering and Computer Science’s 30th Anniversary celebration in 2025-26, ECS launched a new Alumni & Friends Awards program.
"Over the past three decades, ECS has benefited immensely from the contributions of so many accomplished alumni, friends, and supporters,” said Daniel Pack, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Engineering and Computer Science. “We are creating new opportunities to more visibly celebrate their achievements, more thoroughly express our gratitude for their strong support, and more meaningfully recognize their dedication to Baylor and to ECS students, faculty, and staff. Without them, ECS would not be what it is today."
The Nomination Form is open through Friday, June 5, 2026.
