Local coffee shops are a home away from home for many college students. Waco’s coffee scene offers several amazing shops for students to study, relax, connect and fuel up. So, who’s to thank for Waco’s thriving and growing coffee scene? For three of Waco’s most popular coffee spots, it’s Baylor alumni: Common Grounds — What […]
Around Baylor, we talk a lot about the “Baylor Family.” It’s probably the best thing about being involved with campus, whether as a student, parent, graduate, faculty/staff, or fan.

Baylor’s Student Union Building opened to the campus community 70 years ago this fall. But the SUB — officially the Bill Daniel Student Center — is far from ready to retire, having reinvented itself many times over the years. Groundbreaking for the SUB took place on June 1, 1940, on the site of what had […]
Among the topics that shape our nation, few have been more pressing or more ubiquitous recently than immigration. The subject can also be complex: What is “DACA”? Who are “dreamers”?

When prospective students look to U.S. News & World Report’s college rankings over the coming year, they’ll again find Baylor’s light shining bright among the top universities in the state, conference and country.
