We’ve got a lot to be thankful for here at Baylor. Among the many blessings we’re counting this Thanksgiving: * Talented students who give back to the community; * Caring professors who are among the best in the nation; * Successful alumni who inspire today’s students to be tomorrow’s leaders; and * Top-ranked student-athletes who […]
If you’re looking to live in an affordable city where you can still easily watch big-time college football, there aren’t many locations better than Waco and Baylor’s Floyd Casey Stadium. Coldwell Banker studied the average price of what they considered to be a reasonably comfortable family home in the home city for each of the […]
I must confess that I don’t quite understand the High School Musical phenomenon. I fall into an age bracket that’s too old to relate much to the Disney Channel, but too young to have kids that watch it. But clearly the movies have struck a chord with a slightly younger generation that relates to the […]
Baylor first drew attention in the soccer world when the Lady Bears won the school’s first Big 12 Conference title in 1998. Though Baylor (like the rest of the Big 12) does not field a varsity men’s soccer team, it does sponsor club soccer teams for both men and women — and both of of […]
When I wrote on Monday about how great the weekend was for Baylor athletics, I forgot that it was also Sibling Day! To help little brothers and sisters of current Baylor students get a feel for what life at Baylor is like, siblings were specifically invited to campus for the weekend. In addition to the […]
With the Baptist denomination nearing its 400th birthday next year, Baylor is already hosting a yearlong series of lectures, conferences and other events to celebrate our long Baptist heritage. So it seems fitting that as the anniversary approaches, the Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT) will be led by a graduate of the world’s largest […]
Well that was certainly a fun weekend for fans of Baylor athletics! If you weren’t following along, here’s what you missed: * Baylor football blew out Texas A&M, 41-21, on Senior Day at Floyd Casey Stadium. The game wasn’t even as close as the score indicated, as the Aggies scored two touchdowns late after the […]
The respect of one’s peers is among the most welcome honors for people in any profession, but it’s particularly so in academics. Thus the news that three Baylor professors have each been recently recognized by their peers (in three different ways, no less) is good news, indeed! School of Music professor Dr. Scott McAllister (pictured […]
Yesterday was National Signing Day for a number of NCAA sports, and Baylor’s baseball, men’s basketball, men’s golf, softball and volleyball teams all announced commitments from a number of highly regarded student-athletes who will enroll at Baylor next fall. Each of those programs did well, hauling in nationally rated prospects from across the country, but […]
Just heard a very cute story from Baylor Law School’s fall commencement ceremony on Saturday… In addition to the 16 graduates who walked the stage and heard from former FBI director (and Baylor grad) William Sessions, one special attendee was awarded an honorary degree for faithful service to a fellow classmate. Skeeter, a Labrador retriever, […]
