Almost a year in the making, the original idea for the mural started in May 2021 with the Success Center leading a collaborative effort of campus departments, divisions and current students, who have shared value in supporting Baylor students of color. An accompanying plaque will be hung near the mural and will read:“Through collaboration with local artists, this mural was commissioned to empower students. This mural was made possible by the commission from the Paul L. Foster Success Center.”ABOUT BAYLOR UNIVERSITYBaylor University is a private Christian University and a nationally ranked Research 1 institution.
