The Texas Supreme Court will convene today at Baylor’s Umphrey Law Center — a special treat for the Baylor law students who get to sit in on their proceedings. This will be the Court’s third visit to the Law School; the judges also convened in 1998 (the first time the Court had ever sat outside […]
We thought it worth note-ing (all awful puns intended) that freshman music major Zach Graff has been selected as a finalist in this year’s National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts “youngARTS” competition. Graff, a tuba player, is one of about 150 finalists selected from a nationwide pool of 7,000 applicants that includes musicians, […]
In July, a group of 17 Baylor students left Texas for China, where they joined with their peers overseas to produce real-world business solutions — in just six weeks.

Baylor’s interior design program is one of the school’s smaller programs; in 2006-07, only one of the 2,400 bachelor’s degrees awarded by the University was in interior design.

Over 250 universities across the country shared their data from the National Survey of Student Engagement with USA Today. The publication categorized Baylor as a high-research […]
If you were at this weekend’s Homecoming football game against Texas Tech, then you saw five Baylor honorees presented with the Herbert H. Reynolds Award for Exemplary Service: Dr. Paul Armitstead (pictured at right with his daughters), Dr. Kent Gilbreath, Ann Reed, Julie Hermansen Turner, and Jim Turner.
