We knew going in that Homecoming 2020 was going to be different. Due to COVID-19, alumni were (sadly) encouraged not to return to campus this year, but to join in from wherever they may be as most events were moved online. With Saturday’s football game postponed due to COVID-19, the weekend became less about a […]
Like so many other things this year, it’s no surprise that #BaylorHomecoming 2020 won’t look like most of the Homecomings we remember. With COVID-19 leading to restrictions on large group gatherings, bringing the entire Baylor Family together for a weekend just isn’t a good idea, so BU was left with two options: Cancel Homecoming entirely, […]
A lot of things can happen in 24 hours. Because of Baylor alumnus Alex Le Roux, BS ’15, building houses is now one of those things.

In a series of videos posted this summer on Baylor’s social media platforms, five recent graduates shared their experiences at Baylor and what made their time here so special. Kat Largent, BBA ’17: “”The most valuable part of my Baylor experience was […]
The challenging work undertaken by Mayra Jimenez, BBA ’09, would not be described as glamorous. In county courtrooms, immigration services courts and offices, detention centers and more, she meets immigrants — many of them children separated from their parents — in order to help them navigate U.S. immigration law. Yet, the impact of Jimenez’s work […]

Earlier this summer, Dr. David Edison (BSED ’00, MSED ’03) — head of Aquilla Independent School District, about 30 minutes north of Waco — was named the 2020 Region 12 Superintendent of the Year and nominated for the Texas State Superintendent of the Year. The honor is impressive, but it’s how this two-time Baylor alum got […]
