As the world’s largest Baptist university and the only one offering a doctorate in religion, it makes sense that Baylor would serve as a depository for the denomination’s history and research. The Baptist Studies Center for Research, approved by Baylor Regents at their February meeting, will bring it all together. The center will pull together […]
A decade ago, I came close to entering Baylor’s graduate sport management program before life led another way. From this story, however, it seems that the program I considered is now turning out better students than ever. Four Baylor graduate students in sport management claimed the championship at a national case study competition held during […]
During Teacher Appreciation Week earlier this month, we noticed a few Baylor Bears tweeting thanks to their favorite professors. We retweeted a few of those from our account (@BaylorProud), and for every one professor we mentioned, it seemed to spawn 10 more responses as other Bears shared their favorites with us. That kept going for […]
With the end of the year upon us, awards and honors for Baylor students have come in fast and furious over the past month — so many that we really haven’t been able to keep up with it all. Rather than let such recognition slip by, we thought we’d offer this roundup of some of […]
As approximately 250 Baylor students head out this summer to nine different countries as part of 16 different teams on university-sponsored mission trips, new research by a Baylor professor shows those who go really do return as changed men and women. Students in Cambodia will deliver training on therapeutic art techniques to staff in aftercare […]
Each year, the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards some of the nation’s most outstanding graduate students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics with a scholarship and stipend as well as unique opportunities for research and development.

One of the most obvious signs of Baylor’s commitment to providing students with the best professors possible is the Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching, which every two years brings one of the nation’s top teachers from another university to Baylor for one semester. The honor is the only national teaching award for university […]
As students vote on the Collins Outstanding Professor, a faculty committee each spring also selects the recipient of the Cornelia Marschall Smith Award. Based on teaching, research and service, this year’s recipient is Robert Darden, BSED ’76, the associate professor of journalism and media arts in the College of Arts and Sciences who has become […]
Senior Chris Slater began this semester with a 3.98 cumulative GPA, and he will graduate in just a couple of weeks with his degree in finance. I could stop right there, and his achievements would be worthy of recognition — but that’s not all. The Plano native also is a four-year letterman on the Baylor […]
If you’re looking for Baylor students’ favorite professors, it would seem that the biology department is a good place to start. For the third straight year, the senior class has selected a Baylor biology professor as recipient of the Collins Outstanding Professor Award. This year’s honoree is Dr. Marcie Moehnke, MS ’03, PhD ’05, who […]
