…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: Sic ’em, #BU25! BONUS — Baylor Class…
…e far-reaching those words would have on her daughter’s life — including becoming the oldest known doctoral recipient in Baylor history, at age 83. Long before Baylor entered the picture, Price was following in her mother’s footsteps as an educator, community leader, and mother. She spent decades as a teacher in upstate New York, a businesswoman, and a lecturer at SUNY Cortland. And when the SUNY system instituted a new policy that all lecturers m…
…ip, the Graduate School has grown to include 5,000+ students across 100+ in-person, online and professional programs. That growth also played a large part in Baylor reaching R1 status in 2021. It’s always a bittersweet mix — sadness in seeing such beloved individuals go, and happiness for a well-deserved next step. Below are a few others of the longest-serving and most recognizable Bears who are retiring this year — men and women whose faces will…
…11 seasons, head coach Felecia Mulkey’s squad has gone a mind-boggling 110-2, including a current 50-meet winning streak. For context: The only longer NCAA D-1 championship streaks are in track and field, where the Arkansas men won 12 straight indoor titles from 1984-95, and the LSU women won 11 straight outdoor championships from 1987-97. (To be clear, Baylor’s current run is an NCATA streak, not an NCAA streak, because acrobatics and tumbling i…

…n Fountain Mall, right in the heart of campus. A prayer tent featured round-the-clock worship and prayer, and students gathered four straight nights (Sunday through Wednesday) for special worship services led by a variety of pastors and speakers. [Get a taste of the worship in this short video.] And more than 30 Baylor students were baptized on Wednesday night. “There’s something about learning how to pray that’s different,” says Dr. Charles Ramse…
…one of my professors suggested researching Mount Holyoke — the first higher-ed single-sex setting for women. It’s also very interesting because it’s founded by a woman, for women. It’s higher education and it’s religion. For me, it was like, ‘I can study myself. I am all of these things.’ But I then I began reading the writings of the founder, Mary Lyon. And I just found it fascinating how she was thinking about being a woman and challenging the w…
…worship at Max Lucado’s Oak Hills Church, as she finds her way as an up-and-coming Christian singer-songwriter. “I feel called to write honest, relatable, and just real music,” says Leslie. “I get paid to do that for a living, and I have to pinch myself every single day — ‘Oh my goodness; this is too good to be true!’ I do believe that the Lord has a calling on each and every one of our lives, and this is what I get to do.” https://www.youtube.com…
…tally, physically. “Anybody in the recruiting class, anybody that wants to come to Baylor, I’m going to tell them: Come to Baylor if you want to grow as a person. Everybody’s going to grow as a basketball player; Baylor is the right place for both. It’s never going to be a wrong decision going to Baylor.” VJ Edgecombe: “My time here at Baylor, I’m going to be honest — it’s the best place. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world….
…es all the same tasks that we all do — from home renovation projects to day-to-day tasks, one of which she turned into a new enterprise with her husband. “Baking With Josh and Ange,” a YouTube show that features the couple making meals and often entertaining friends and former castmates (like Rainn Wilson and, of course, Fischer). It seems there is no down time for the actress. And with rumors about an Office reunion constantly being stoked, propo…
