Baylor Announces Gift For Brooks Village Chapel

Selected highlights from the News Release:

Baylor University has announced a gift from William and Mary Jo Robbins of Houston, Texas, to construct The Robbins Chapel in Brooks Village. Mr. and Mrs. Robbins are longtime supporters of Baylor. The new Chapel will provide students a place for everyday prayer, meditation and worship.

"Mary Jo and I are happy to make this contribution," Robbins said. "We believe building a place for private prayer and small group worship at the heart of a living-learning community is a meaningful way to encourage faithfulness to Christ in the daily life of students, and is integral to the Baylor 2012 vision."

The Robbins Chapel supports the second imperative of Baylor 2012: to create a truly residential campus, and the sixth imperative: to guide all Baylor students through academic and student life programming to understand life as a stewardship and work as a vocation. FULL NEWS RELEASE HERE
