A New Chapter: The Moody School of Education
In January 2026, Baylor University’s Moody School of Education was named as part of a transformational gift from the Moody Foundation.
The Moody Foundation was established in 1942 by W.L. Moody Jr. and Libbie Shearn Moody with a mission to empower Texas communities to thrive and prosper. With an emphasis on education, the arts, health, and community vitalization, the Foundation has committed more than $2.5 billion to thousands of programs—empowering Texans to thrive through opportunity, access, and innovation.
