Children spend much of their days in school, so it makes sense that a researcher looking to help them thrive might focus on that time in the classroom. Dr. Tonya Davis (BS ’02, MS ’04), a professor of educational psychology in Baylor’s School of Education, does just that. A nationally recognized expert in behavioral, emotional […]

It’s now been more than 100 years since the first Baylor alum appeared in an NFL game. That would be Russ Blailock, an offensive lineman who made his debut with the Milwaukee Badgers in 1923 — just three years after the league was founded, and only a year after it changed its name to the […]
Waco’s dining landscape was once dominated by fast food and what could generously be called “fast casual.” With few exceptions, the best way to enjoy fine dining in Waco was to drive to Dallas or Austin for the night. Things have most certainly changed. Waco’s conspicuous growth over the past decade has seen options for […]
It’s as much a part of Baylor’s hometown as the ALICO building, Brazos River or Cameron Park, and everyone who enters town on I-35 or walks around downtown sees it somewhere. We’re talking, of course, about the “Flying W” — the “W” logo that adorns the Waco flag, city seal and signage around town. You’ve […]
A new school year and a new football season present a new opportunity to share what Baylor is all about. Baylor’s 2024-25 university commercial will debut on television during Baylor football’s season opener Saturday, but BU social media shared the spot earlier today: The 30-second spot features breakout Christian music singer/songwriter (and 2017 Baylor graduate) Forrest […]
There’s a lot of new for Baylor Football in 2024: a new (but familiar) offensive system, a new starting quarterback, newly redesigned uniforms, and a sparkling new football development center for the Bears to call home. As the Bears look to climb after a challenging 2023 season, signs abound that much has changed since last year. Let’s […]
What a week! From Move2BU to Welcome Week and then the first day of classes, Baylor’s campus is once again buzzing with activity! It all started last Wednesday and Thursday, when some 3,400 Baylor freshmen were helped into their new on-campus homes by a nearly equal number of student, faculty and staff volunteers — including […]
It’s hard to believe, but the 2024 season will be head coach Ryan McGuyre’s 10th at the helm of the program he has built into a national powerhouse. In that time, the Bears have reached eight consecutive NCAA Tournaments (and counting), five Sweet 16s and a Final Four. Last year, he became the program’s all-time […]
An important part of Baylor’s growth as a Christian research university has been the expansion of doctoral degree programs, which have in turn welcomed increasing numbers of doctoral students. This year, that growth has culminated in a record — and a brand new Commencement ceremony celebrating student accomplishments. Summer 2024 Commencement marked a record-setting moment […]
Since 2008, each incoming class of new Baylor students has been welcomed with its own unique hymn, capturing an aspect of this moment of excitement, possibility and transition in each new Bear’s life. This year’s hymn, “In This Day,” was written expressly for the Class of 2028, with lyrics and music by University Chaplain Burt […]
