…missions and financial aid process, and more. During COVID, the event went online, but high demand for that in-person experience led to its return on campus this spring. “Baylor Premiere has been a hallmark event for more than 20 years, and we are so excited to bring it back to our award-winning campus,” says Ross VanDyke (BA ’03), associate vice president of enrollment management recruiting, marketing, and innovation. “In the college search proce…
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…
…Master Teachers: Tommye Lou Davis (BA ’66, MS ’68) in 1993, Helen Ligon in 2003, Rachel Moore (MA ’69) in 2004, Laine Scales and Dr. Gaynor Yancey in 2016, and Dr. Anne-Marie Schultz in 2020.) Dr. Diana Garland was the founding dean of the Baylor School of Social Work. Garland came to Baylor as a professor in 1997, when social work was still a degree track within the College of Arts & Sciences. Social work became its own department in 1999, and G…

…s spent all at once. Think of it this way: If I give you $20, you could go buy 20 $1 candy bars right now, and that’s all you would ever get. 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. Through careful management and the generous gifts of donor, B…
…y Head talk to Baylor entrepreneurship students at the Foster Campus, April 2022] The lemonade gets its name and its inspiration from Omari’s own Pops — his dad, Andre Head, who taught Omari the lemonade recipe when the younger Head was just 10 years old. That recipe and his father’s love of welcoming others drive the business that is Pop’s today. “My dad was all about hospitality,” Omari told the Baylor Lariat. “He really loved to host people. He…
…’t look the same as it did 175 years ago — or even 25 years ago. After all, 20,000 students now call Baylor home, each at different steps along their faith journey — so one size definitely doesn’t fit all. That’s why Spiritual Life is creating a wide variety of Chapel opportunities that are built around students — working to meet them where they are: in their interests, in their majors, in their giftings, etc. The ideal Chapel is a combination of…

For a Baylor volleyball program that has reached the NCAA Tournament seven years in a row — including four straight Sweet 16 berths — expectations are always high, even with a team as young as this year’s squad. The relative youth of this year’s team may stand out, but the young talent up and down the roster poises the team for growth throughout the season, and with that the chance to continue the excellence displayed by the program under head co…
