FALL 2025 1 FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friend, This season on University Hill carries a sense of expectancy and an unmistakable awareness that the Lord is doing something new among us. As we began the fall semester, nearly 700 new Patriots, the largest incoming class in DBU’s history, arrived to find more than a university; they found a Christ-centered community eager to welcome, serve, and pray with them as they begin their journey. The stories you will discover in this edition of The DBU Report testify to God’s hand at work across our campus and beyond. We celebrate the extraordinary generosity of Jim and Sally Nation, whose $5 million gift to the Carter School of Business will prepare future leaders to enter the marketplace with excellence and integrity. We give thanks for the stewardship of our campus, as DBU was honored with both Level 1 Arboretum Accreditation and the 2025 Green Star Award, putting DBU on the map yet again and drawing visitors to our beautiful campus. You will also read about Patriots making an impact across multiple disciplines and industries, from Cora Moncibaiz, named a Future Texas Business Legend Scholar, to Keely Boutwell’s debut as a young filmmaker, to Andrew Herndon, our first Battalion Commander in UTA’s ROTC program. We cheer for our Women’s Golf Team as they bring home their third NCAA National Title, and we look ahead with excitement as DBU Baseball joins the Pac-12 Conference, carrying the DBU spirit of character and faith onto a national stage. I am deeply grateful for your friendship and support as we continue to build a great Christian University that is pleasing to God. May the stories in these pages encourage your heart, and may we together press on to honor Christ in every classroom, competition, act of service, and life transformed here on University Hill. Sincerely, Adam C. Wright, Ph.D. President, Dallas Baptist University CHRIST-CENTERED COMMUNITY EXCELLENCE FAITH INTEGRATION GLOBALLY MINDED SERVANT LEADERSHIP TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION
