David M. Abshire Civic Leadership Award
Fourteen rising seniors were selected to travel to Washington, D.C., this summer on the David M. Abshire Leadership Trip for an intensive eight-day experiential course of study on national leadership, ethics, honor, and service. The program was created in partnership with the Center for the Study of the Presidency and the late Dr. David Abshire ’44, who served as president and CEO of that organization.

Joe “Sarge” Key Awards
Twelve rising seniors were selected for the Joe Key Award, a trip that recognizes selfless character and involves seven days of sea-kayaking, hiking, and camping on the islands of Acadia National Park this July.  The trip honors the late Joe Key, who worked at Baylor from 1961 to 1988 as a military instructor and study hall supervisor and was affectionately known a “Sarge.”
