As part of the Baylor University School of Engineering and Computer Science’s 30th Anniversary celebration in 2025-26, ECS is announcing 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 period is open through June 9, 2025.
Items such as additional letters of support (no more than three) that specifically address the criteria, a biography or CV, newspaper and magazine articles, personal stories, award or certificates of achievement, and any other items of interest are welcome. Send these items by responding to the confirmation email you will receive after submitting the nomination form.
The slate of awards for 2025-26 are:
Green Award
Presented to a young alumnus/a who is making a meaningful impact in the world of engineering or computer science through innovation, leadership, or Christian service. This award honors those early in their careers who exemplify the values of Baylor ECS and demonstrate great promise for the future.
Gold Award
Presented to an alumnus/a who has made a significant and lasting contribution to the engineering or computer science fields. This honoree is recognized as a leader and trailblazer—known for groundbreaking achievements, impactful research, thought leadership, and embodies excellence in their profession.
Dean’s Medal of Honor
Awarded to an alumnus/a, Board member, organization, or friend of ECS who has made a significant and lasting impact on the School of Engineering and Computer Science. This honor recognizes those who exemplify Baylor’s mission through dedicated research and innovation, service, philanthropy, mentorship, or leadership within the ECS community and beyond.
Honorees will be invited to a special awards dinner and ceremony to be held November 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the President’s Suite in McLane Stadium.
“We are excited to launch this awards program as part of the ECS 30th Anniversary year beginning in Fall 2025, and we look forward to connecting with as many alumni and friends as possible in this special year,” said Lane Murphy, director of marketing and communications for ECS. “The school’s 25th Anniversary celebration was complicated by Covid-19 in 2020, so celebrating ECS with our alumni and friends in a more meaningful way feels well past due.”
More information about 30th Anniversary events and programming will be announced soon.
