It’s been a good 12 months for head coach Art Briles’ Baylor football program: a third-straight bowl appearance (and a blowout victory there), a new stadium going up along the Brazos, one alum named NFL rookie of the year, another named to the College Football Hall of Fame. But why stop there? Most recently, it […]
From screenwriters Michael Brandt, BBA ’91, MA ’94, and Derek Haas, BA ’91, MA ’95, to directors Kevin Reynolds, BA ’74, JD ’76, and John Lee Hancock, BA ’79, JD ’82, Baylor is well represented throughout the film industry.

But the equipment’s Baylor pride doesn’t stop with its color; a closer look reveals Baylor logos on every side, and if you […]
Baylor’s planned new business school building got an incredible boost Tuesday when the university announced a $35 million gift from Paul L. Foster, BBA ’79, that will support both the new facility and Baylor Stadium. The gift is the largest from a living alumnus in Baylor history. Foster’s deep Baptist roots brought him to Baylor […]
After a long discussion process led by a committee of faculty, staff and students, the two main buildings that will make up East Village Residential Community now have names honoring two distinguished (but perhaps not well-known) Baylor alumni.

Only three weeks remain in this season of NBC’s The Voice, and Baylor sophomore Holly Tucker is still alive and kicking among the show’s final six contestants.
