The demand for a Baylor education has never been higher. We saw that last 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 f…
…like this. While students enjoyed many of the usual favorites (live music, free food, competitions, inflatables and more) on Monday, they also got a once-in-a-lifetime treat — viewing a total solar eclipse from the heart of campus.

In fact, Baylor has enjoyed steady growth in the number of Ph.D. programs and students, with nearly 900 doctoral students currently enrol…
Sixteen is sweet, indeed. Baylor women’s basketball is headed back to the Sweet 16, thanks to a pair of big NCAA tournament wins this weekend in Blacksburg, Virginia. Head coach Nicki Collen’s squad dominated Vanderbilt on Friday, 80-63, then beat Virginia Tech in front of a feisty home crowd, 75-72, on Sunday night. The first win made this the program’s 20th straight tournament with a first-round victory; the second will carry the Bears to the S…

Think about the community you call home. Does its setup encourage you (and those around you) to be active? Is there a track or walking path for adults, or a playscape for kids? Can you ride your bike to work or the store? Is the area walkable? Dr. Renée Umstattd Meyer (BSED ’00) has built a nationally recognized research career thinking about questions like these, and has put that research to work helping communities across the country better sup…

Jimenez joined the IRC in 2023 after a decade at RAICES, a San Antonio-based organization that provides free and low-cost legal services and advocacy for immigrants — including stints as vice president of legal services and interim chief programs officer. There, she helped lead a legal department assisting tens of thousands of U.S. immigrants (including countless children) each year as they navigated U.S. immigration law. Jimenez’s…
