Sesquicentennial Campaign
 In 2009, the Baylor Alumni Association will celebrate its Sesquicentennial, marking 150 years of dedicated service to Baylor University and Baylor alumni. To mark the occasion, the association has convened a distinguished group of Baylor alums to chair the Sesquicenntenial Campaign. Read a letter from the campaign chairs here: An Open Letter.
Governed by a board of alumni volunteers and incorporated as a separate nonprofit organization since 1978—when Baylor's president at the time, Judge Abner V. McCall, recommended such independence—the Baylor Alumni Association has been uniquely empowered to act with unwavering integrity and responsible boldness. The association's commitment to keeping Baylor strong is well documented. It's a charge taken up by each new generation of graduates out of a sense of pride, privilege, and responsibility.
- Create an endowment of $20 million to produce an annual income of $1 million. Today, the association's endowment stands at $4.1 million.
- Increase annual memberships. Today, the association's annual membership stands at approximately 7,100 members.
- Increase life memberships by at least 150 each year. Today, the association has approximately 11,300 life members.
- Increase Torchbearers Society members to 150 each year. Last year, ninety-five alumni and friends—many of whom were already life members—joined the Torchbearers Society with their annual gifts of $1,000.
