Sometimes it’s tough to explain to those not acquainted with Baylor just why we’re so proud of our university and exactly how it’s different from other major schools. While the rest of us were experiencing the thrills of watching Baylor football becoming bowl-eligible at Homecoming, one Baylor mom had a different — but equally positive […]
As we’ve moved into the Internet age, the old picture of politicians out shaking hands and kissing babies seems cliche and almost outdated; today, it’s all about engaging with voters via social media. As founder and CEO of Harris Media, Baylor graduate Vincent Harris, BA ’09, is among those at the forefront of that movement. […]
Over 40,000 fans saw Baylor’s Homecoming football win over Kansas State, and many more visited campus for Pigskin, Bonfire, the parade and other events.

Each of this year’s 10 Baylor Meritorious Achievement Award recipients expressed surprise to receive the honor, saying that so many others were more deserving. And while it’s true that Baylor is blessed to count all sorts of leaders and servants among its alumni and supporters, each of […]
Speaking of Bears in movies… We’ve got another one, but this time, the movie doesn’t star a Baylor graduate; it’s based on his life. Heaven’s Rain, released last month, tells the true story of Brooks Douglass, BBA ’85, the son of a Baptist pastor, who at the age of 16 witnessed his parents’ shooting at […]
