Joe, LLB '49, & Barbara Allbritton

As a boy working in his family's cafeteria business, Joe Allbritton learned how to work with all kinds of people. Hard work created in him a sense of responsibility and drive that led him to Baylor. He thrived at the University, making lifelong friends and competing on the national championship debate team. Joe and his wife, Barbie, have built successful businesses in finance and the communications industry. And throughout their lives, they have given of themselves to numerous organizations - with Barbie currently serving on the Board of Baylor College of Medicine. Their gifts to Baylor Law School, Moody Memorial Library, and Truett Seminary have impacted the lives of thousands of students. Art students have been given exceptional opportunities to enhance their gifts through the Allbritton Art Institute and their gift of Allbritton House, the home of Baylor Presidents, continues to serve as a beautiful retreat for University leaders.
