Much of Baylor is among magazine’s ’51 Reasons to Love Waco’

We noted a couple of months ago the growing level of interaction between Baylor and the rest of the Waco community, and the city is starting to take note. For instance… I picked up the latest issue of the Wacoan at a doctor’s office last week and was reading through what they label as “51 Reasons to Love Waco.”

Almost 20% of the entries on that list were things that bring the community to Baylor, such as the Bear Habitat, Big 12 sports, museums like BU’s Mayborn, youth summer camps, the Texas Collection, and even the city’s college atmosphere. Others were examples of how Baylor heads out into the community, like KWBU radio and Mission Waco (where over half the volunteers are Baylor students). It’s a healthy interaction that is only growing as downtown Waco develops and more students move into lofts and townhouses in the heart of the city.

Sic ’em, Baylor-Waco interaction!
