When there doesn’t seem to be anything else on, the TV in our household often ends up on Food Network, particularly if one of their competition shows is on: Iron Chef America, Food Network Challenge, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, etc. Baylor/ARAMARK chef Ben Hernandez recently won a regional ARAMARK competition that sounds a lot like […]
Dr. Kevin Chambliss, a Baylor chemistry professor, recently received a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to study the use of alternative feedstocks to produce biofuels. Plenty of studies have examined producing ethanol from corn, but some experts are beginning to question the use of corn alone as a source of fuel, noting […]
Did you know Baylor has five athletic teams ranked among the top 10 in the nation right now? Women’s equestrian leads the way at No. 2 in the country, followed by women’s tennis (No. 4), women’s basketball (No. 7), baseball (No. 8) and men’s tennis (No. 10). But those aren’t the only teams excelling at […]
If you’ve been to a Baylor football, basketball, baseball, softball or volleyball game since 2002, you’ve seen the work of BaylorVision — Baylor’s in-house video production group — on the video boards at Floyd Casey Stadium, the Ferrell Center, Baylor Ballpark and Getterman Stadium. It’s impressive stuff. The team intros and starting lineups might be […]
We’re just about two months from everyone’s favorite time of year: tax season. With income taxes needing to be filed by April 15, studies show about 35 percent of Americans will use an accountant or tax service — many of them CPAs (certified public accountants). If you’re looking for someone to do your taxes this […]
I love that Baylor has of late become particularly interested in preserving its history. Those efforts are most notable on the site of the University’s original campus in Independence, Texas, but extend to events like Wednesday’s Founders Day ceremony. After 50 years in storage, Baylor unveiled a newly restored portrait of the school’s founder and […]
As a student at Baylor, I often took for granted that my professors did much more than just teach the material; they truly open up and give of themselves, which often leads to spending extra hours in the office meeting with students to answer questions about everything from their assignments to life in general. Many […]
A random bit of trivia for you: Baylor is believed to be the only university in the U.S. to have two former student-athletes receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military honor for bravery. Both Jack Lummus and John “Killer” Kane earned the award for their service in World War II. The pair […]
We’re just under a month away from the start of college baseball season, but as a huge baseball fan, it can’t come quick enough for me. And this year is looking like it will be a good one for the Bears, who are ranked in the top 25 of all four major preseason polls. Baseball […]
We’ve had plenty of athletic successes to write about already this year, from football all-Americans to basketball rankings, not to mention volleyball, cross country and equestrian. But it’s worth noting that Baylor athletes aren’t just athletes — they’re student-athletes. And while their performances on the field draw the most attention, their work in the classroom […]
