Houston Christian University is in profound grief following the sudden passing of President Dr. Robert B. Sloan Jr. at age 77, after a critical health event on Friday. A transformative leader nearing his 20th year at HCU, Dr. Sloan also served as Baylor University’s president for a decade and was deeply rooted in its history as a founding dean of its theological seminary. Under his guidance, HCU saw explosive growth in enrollment, academic offerings, and campus infrastructure. Though the cause of death remains undisclosed, his legacy — marked by visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to spiritual mission — continues to shape the university’s future, with tributes pouring in from across the nation.
