Baylor Alum Donates $35 Million For Business School, Stadium

WACO (June 4, 2013)—Paul L. Foster of El Paso, a 1979 Baylor graduate, has donated $35 million for the university’s new School of Business and the on-campus football stadium that’s now under construction, the school announced Tuesday.

The donation is the largest from a living graduate in the school’s history, the university said.

The donation will support construction of the $100 million, 275,000-square foot Paul L. Foster Campus for Business and Innovation, which will house Baylor’s Hankamer School of Business as well as the $250 million stadium project.

"Like so many other graduates, the education I received at Baylor prepared me for personal and professional success,” said Foster, who’s chairman of the board and executive chairman of Western Refining, Inc.
