Over the course of just a few days, new first-year and transfer students get to know fellow Bears, become familiar with getting around campus, run the Baylor Line for the first time, learn the cheers and chants they’ll do at sporting events, and even have their own mini All University Sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w8aBSbZkrc Most will agree that the highlight of Line Camp is the trip to Independence, Texas, B…
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.

…dmother would say, ‘This is my son’s daughter,’ and ‘This is your cousin so-and-so through so-and-so.’ As a child, you really don’t know, but you hear the names. So I was aware of some of the names. What it did for me was to give me a sense of time and place. I knew that I came from some people who could accomplish some things through some horrible circumstances. It was like a reunion. A giant reunion of everybody who had descended from the Stroud…

At Baylor, she discovered that even disagreements led to growth, as she challenged, refined and strengthened her beliefs.

Traditional Dia activities like tug-of-war, a gondola wheel, giant slide, and various sporting competitions were mixed with newer favorites like goat yoga, a petting zoo, mini golf and Zumba.

…students were baptized on Fountain Mall. (Worth noting: These weren’t spur-of-the-moment decisions, either; each Bear had first met with his/her pastor to talk through what baptism means, and trained response team members from a variety of local churches and ministries are following up with them to discuss next steps.) “At the end of the day, what matters most to the Baylor Family is not academic accolades, but our success in preparing students t…
…They ate barbecue and held many friendly competitions, culminating in a tug-of-war contest between freshmen and sophomores. That joyous day in 1932 quickly became an annual tradition, although with a few name changes over the years. “All-University Day” became “Physical Fitness Day” and then “May Day” before finally landing on “Diadeloso” — the “day of the Bear” — in 1966. And the event has only gotten bigger and better as time’s gone on! Today, D…

…wn to fluctuate. After all — a lot of steps go into producing the goods we buy: raw materials have to be found and transported to a factory, where they are turned into parts, which then must be combined into a product, which then has to make it to store. Troubles at any step in the process can cause the dreaded “supply chain problems” message. In situations such as these, he stresses, patience is the key. “The ‘chain’ involves specific and very co…
