Congrats, Baylor Class of 2025!
Congratulations, Class of 2025 — you did it!
This weekend, more than 4,000 Bears — the largest class in Baylor history — celebrated earning their degrees, the culmination of the Baylor experience. Thousands of their friends and family filled the Ferrell Center for each ceremony, and countless more watched online and joined in the celebration via social media to honor BU’s newest graduates.

As a proud Baylor graduate who walked across that same stage many years ago, the best piece of advice I can give you is this: Stay in touch. Update your alumni contact information so that wherever your future takes you, you’ll know what’s going on with your alma mater and can connect with fellow grads. If you don’t already, follow Baylor on social media to watch how your alma mater grows and develops.
And finally, even as your friends scatter all over the world, make an effort to get together on a regular basis. Maybe that’s for Baylor Homecoming (mark your calendar — Oct. 27-Nov. 1!), a group vacation, or just weekly game night — but keep those friendships going. College is a special time, and you likely won’t ever again have this much time available to build such deep friendships.
Best of luck, new Baylor graduates — we’ll always be your biggest fan. Or, as we Bears say:
