In celebration of Black History Month, iTunes is highlighting selections across the site’s offerings that share “the essence of the African-American experience.” From comedy to the civil rights struggle, Motown to Miles Davis, iTunes has pulled together audiobooks, podcasts, music, TV shows and films from its media offerings — including selections from Baylor’s Black Gospel […]
A packed Barfield Drawing Room audience of students, faculty and staff welcomed new Baylor President Ken Starr at his public introduction Tuesday. Even the NoZe Brothers stopped by to have their pictures taken with the University’s new leader (see this photo gallery from his Waco visit). Starr again received a nice ovation when introduced during […]
Monday afternoon — on President’s Day, appropriately enough — Baylor announced the hiring of the University’s 14th president, Pepperdine University School of Law Dean Ken Starr. Over a distinguished career in education, law and public service, Starr has become known for many things. He has argued 25 cases before the Supreme Court, served as Independent […]
At Baylor Proud, our goal is to trumpet the good things going on within the Baylor family, in order to share that news with those inside and outside the Baylor community. Not to toot our own horn, but I think we’re fairly good at that. Actually playing a trumpet, however — not so much. Baylor, […]
One hundred years ago this week, Chicago publisher W.D. Boyce incorporated the Boy Scouts of America (BSA); a century later, over 110 million Boy Scouts across the U.S. have recited the Scout Oath (“On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country…”). Countless famous Americans from the […]

While it will still be quite some time before the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative (BRIC) is up and running, that doesn’t mean the university is sitting around just waiting for that day to begin research efforts. To the contrary — there are more research projects going on than we can keep up with. Here […]
Like the Armstrong Browning Library, the Texas Collection is one of the jewels of Baylor’s campus that is easy to miss during a student’s four years here. Unless a particular research project takes one into the former Carroll Library, most Bears have little reason to venture inside. A new KWBU-FM program aims to help change […]
More than 900 new CPAs were sworn in last November by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy; during the ceremony, Baylor grad Nikki Laing, BBA ’06, was recognized as one of the top 10 highest scorers in the state on the CPA exam. Laing — now a Baylor Law student — hasn’t followed the […]
Perhaps inspired by the Baylor Law School’s string of success in moot court competitions, Baylor undergraduates are out to prove that such success isn’t just for grad students. Seniors Erik Baumann and Ray Panneton claimed second place at the 2010 American Collegiate Moot Court Association’s national tournament in Miami earlier this month. Chosen on the […]
