…t fall, when the university received more than 56,000 applications for Fall 2024 — and we saw it again Saturday, when almost 3,500 prospective students and family members were on campus for Premiere. For years, Premiere has served as a “must-do” event for those considering Baylor for college. High school students (and their families) spend all day on campus learning from BU faculty and staff about academic areas of interest, student life at Baylor…
This week is Graduate Student Appreciation Week, a chance to celebrate the 5,500+ graduate students who pursue their calling at Baylor. Although they comprise nearly a quarter of BU’s overall enrollment, their contributions can fly under the radar — but not to those with whom they serve. “Being in the biology department, I use the metaphor of graduate students being the lifeblood of our university,” says Dr. Joe Taube (BS ’03), associate professo…

Or, you could buy one candy bar right now and invest the rest of the money; then the fund would buy you another candy bar next year, and another the next, and the next, forever — so you’d end up with way more than 20 candy bars, and never run out.

But the play on the court was secondary to the awe and wonder felt by Baylor fans who filled the arena for both games, and by the coaches and players experiencing the new gameday atmosphere.
