At Baylor Proud, our goal is to trumpet the good things going on within the Baylor family, in order to share that news with those inside and outside the Baylor community. Not to toot our own horn, but I think we’re fairly good at that. Actually playing a trumpet, however — not so much. Baylor, […]
By bedtime last night, Dallas/Fort Worth had racked up a single-day record of over 9 inches of snow. Waco didn’t get nearly that much — an inch or two, depending on the part of town — but resourceful students took the opportunity to have some winter fun, as snowmen popped up all over campus on […]
If you’ve been around Baylor for any length of time, you know of Drayton McLane Jr.’s long involvement with the University.

Countless famous Americans from the […]

Wortman, Jr. Award for Lifetime Achievement in Entrepreneurship, an honor sponsored by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The award was voted on by a committee of Bagby’s peers and is considered the group’s highest recognition. Bagby, the Robert […]
It seems Baylor law alums are everywhere these days — among the state’s highest scorers on the CPA exam, being recognized for their service to the community, successfully arguing in front of the Supreme Court, even being profiled in a movie. Now, two more honors have rolled in over the past month. First, Texas Governor […]
While it will still be quite some time before the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative (BRIC) is up and running, that doesn’t mean the university is sitting around just waiting for that day to begin research efforts.
