    June 16, 2022 // Posted In Alumni, Honors

    Before the pandemic, online shopping was a convenience. During the pandemic, it became a necessity, challenging even the largest of retailers to rethink their web presence. It’s no surprise that during such a transformational time a Baylor grad would be called upon to lead. In April, Walmart named John D. Rainey (BBA ’93, MBA ’95) […]

    Have you ever stopped to think about how it is that seals and walruses eat? Okay, probably not.
