Fourteen months ago, Tracie Shelby (BS ’84, MS ’85) learned she had breast cancer — and not just any breast cancer, but triple negative cancer, a rare, aggressive form that is often incredibly difficult to treat. Having already watched her mother fight breast cancer and eventually die of lung cancer, it would have been easy […]
When Apple’s iPhone commercials say “There’s an app for that,” it seems they’re not kidding. From gaming to business, it seems there really is an application for everything — including one that can drive a car.

Baylor Proud wasn’t the only blog to highlight “Texas at the Table,” a hunger summit hosted by Baylor last month that aimed to find ways to eradicate hunger across the state.

Whether you’re looking […]
Jay Allison’s name is in many ways intertwined with Baylor. He holds three degrees from the university (BBA ’78, MS ’80, JD ’81), married a woman, Jenny, who holds two more (BSEd ’78, MSEd ’80), and has already seen one of his four children (Jency, BA ’08) graduate from Baylor.
