  • We want to hear from you as Baylor’s 175th anniversary approaches

    October 10, 2019 // Posted In Alumni, History

    On Feb. 1, 1845, Baylor University was born as Republic of Texas President Anson Jones signed the university’s charter.

    Next year marks Baylor’s 175th anniversary. In recognition of our rich history, we’d like to hear from Bears of all ages:

    What does your Baylor experience mean to you?

    What significant event(s) in your life happened during your time at Baylor? Was there a class that shaped your future? A professor or friend who altered the course of your life? By the end of your time at Baylor, what life lessons did you learn? Tell us your story here, and be sure to include a photo of yourself. Select responses will be shared via Baylor’s social media accounts around the anniversary next year!

    Sic ’em, Bears!
