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 […]

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.
