With the number of exceptional faculty and administrators Baylor produces, choosing a select few to honor can be an overwhelming task. But since 1981--when the Baylor Alumni Association recognized such legends as Martha Barkema, P.D. Brown, and Guy B. Harrison--the association has been recognizing retired members of the Baylor faculty and administration who have shown professional merit during their university service.

In 2008, the award was generously endowed in memory of President Herbert H. Reynolds. The Herbert H. Reynolds Retired Faculty and Administrators Award is presented each spring at a luncheon co-sponsored by the alumni association and the Retired Faculty and Administrators Program. Pictured is 2007 recipient James Vardaman, a Baylor Master Teacher of history.

Other past recipients of this award have held various titles and positions throughout their years at the university. From coaches to notable professors to sponsors for campus organizations, these recipients have distinguished themselves as outstanding individuals and have contributed greatly to the university.
