…re involved in actively remembering and helping restore the University’s original site; incoming freshmen who go through Line Camp now visit Independence, and a new walking trail that passes through the original campus was dedicated a couple of years ago. With that in mind, it makes sense that Baylor would get involved with a company like Independence Coffee Co. Earlier this week, I read that the coffeemakers are now offering a line of Baylor Sign…
…ic. The show, headed up by Morgan Spurlock of Super Size Me fame, takes individuals outside of their comfort zone for one month to see how others live. Crockett, a 14-year NFL veteran, won two Super Bowls with the Denver Broncos, and he was there when Denver Lions teammate Mike Utley was paralyzed during a game in 1991. Crockett was clearly moved from the experience, both from what he went through and from others he met who didn’t have any choice…
…rrell Center on Saturday during Baylor’s spring Commencement ceremonies, joining the approximately 135,000 others who have graduated from Baylor over the past 160-plus years. (Click here for a photo gallery from Saturday’s event.) As a fellow alum, let me encourage you graduates not to lose touch with your alma mater. Join the Alumni Association, sign up for the Baylor Network to meet fellow Bears in your new home, and make sure your information i…
…anning to bicycle from Waco to Anchorage, Alaska, to raise awareness for suicide prevention. The guys are still at it, and have now gained national attention for their work. Earlier this month, the quintet hosted the “Dean’s List” music video countdown on mtvU; inbetween videos of songs related to their mission, the group talked about what they’re doing and how people can help. The show was filmed on campus; watch it online here. The Alive Campaig…
…usic degree. After earning her masters degree at Texas A&M in education administration, she went to work for then Governor George W. Bush. She spent three years in the governor’s office before following Bush to Washington, D.C., where she worked for five years. During that time, she redesigned whitehouse.gov and created the first separate White House website for children, whitehousekids.gov. Today, Cook is an author and public speaker, making appe…
…returned just one scholarship player from the year before. Shepherd, a five-time Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll honoree, has become known for his gritty style of play and has worked his way into the starting lineup this season. Bruce was head coach Scott Drew’s first big-name recruit, choosing Baylor over several better-known programs at a time when that choice led plenty of his friends to ask, “Why Baylor?” Over the past four years, as Baylor h…
…s team is capable of going to the College World Series for sure. From an ability and talent standpoint, this is as good of a team as we’ve had here.” That series continues Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at noon. Saturday, the men’s basketball team hosts No. 24 Kansas State and national player of the year candidate Michael Beasley. For the Bears to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, this one is pretty much a must-win. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.; the…
For those of you planning to visit campus on or before March 1, I highly recommend stopping by the Martin Museum of Art in the Hooper-Schaefer Fine Arts Center. Marc Burckhardt’s (BA ’86) and Mike Benny’s contemporary illustrations and paintings are featured in Gallery 1. Chances are likely that you will see some familiar pieces, as their works have been commissioned by clients such as Volkswagen, Rolling Stone, TIME, New Yorker, Major League Bas…
…class yesterday (click the link for a transcript and video), and the recruiting haul bodes good things for the Bears. According to rankings from Rivals.com, it is Baylor’s best group in at least seven years (that’s as far back as their online archives go). Among the class’ headliners are 4-star quarterback Robert Griffin, a local product from nearby Copperas Cove, and receiver Kendall Wright, who was among ESPN’s top 150 recruits in the nation. W…
