We’ve already told you that we’re proud of Baylor (in case you didn’t gather that from our name). We’re glad to hear that our alumni feel the same way! A survey of 600 Baylor alumni across Texas and throughout the country found that nearly 80% of alums are “very proud” of their alma mater and […]
Set your TiVos (or VCRs, if you’re behind on your technology like me) for October 5, when Baylor alum Angela Kinsey is scheduled to appear on The Late Show with David Letterman!
