In her 60-plus years as a Baylor Bear, beloved alumna and retired professor Sadie Jo Black touched countless lives. Many of those she reached gathered today at Truett Seminary’s Paul W. Powell Chapel for her memorial service, after Black passed away Dec. 5 at the age of 80. Even more than most Bears, the Baylor […]
When nominees were announced last week for the 53rd annual Grammy Awards, at least two Baylor alums heard their names called — even though their musical styles are about as different as can be.

This fall, the National Research Council (NRC) released its first detailed study of graduate programs since 1995, and their findings repeat those reported by Academic Analytics earlier this year: Baylor’s graduate programs have made tremendous progress over the past decade, and many now rank among the nation’s best in their fields.

Forty-seven years ago today, President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas. It seems you can ask anyone alive then where they were when they heard Kennedy had been shot, and they can recount their story vividly to this day. In the days and weeks following Kennedy’s death, the White House received well […]
