While most of us were simply planning how to attack the Thanksgiving spread, a group of Baylor students was working through much bigger issues — global issues, in fact — at the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago. And the 11 Baylor representatives did much more than just participate; they came back to Waco […]
After starting the season 6-1, including a win over 14th-ranked Arizona State, the Baylor men’s basketball program has broken into the Associated Press’ Top 25, landing at No. 24 this week. That ranking is the Bears’ highest since they were ranked 19th in February 1969. Last season, the men spent two weeks at No. 25; […]
With the Baptist denomination nearing its 400th birthday next year, Baylor is already hosting a yearlong series of lectures, conferences and other events to celebrate our long Baptist heritage. So it seems fitting that as the anniversary approaches, the Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT) will be led by a graduate of the world’s largest […]
The respect of one’s peers is among the most welcome honors for people in any profession, but it’s particularly so in academics. Thus the news that three Baylor professors have each been recently recognized by their peers (in three different ways, no less) is good news, indeed!

Yesterday was National Signing Day for a number of NCAA sports, and Baylor’s baseball, men’s basketball, men’s golf, softball and volleyball teams all announced commitments from a number of highly regarded student-athletes who will enroll at Baylor next fall.

That’s why Baylor joined up with The Baptist Standard in 2002 to sponsor the Texas Baptist Ministry […]
In July, we celebrated the 60th birthday of Baylor’s Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) with the news that the group had been named the top large detachment in the region. For Veterans Day, they are celebrating even better news — that the Baylor AFROTC was named the No. 1 large detachment in the […]
Baylor’s women’s basketball program fully arrived on the national scene when it won the NCAA championship in 2005. Three years later, evidence is mounting that the Baylor men are approaching a similar level of recognition for their achievements on the court. The Lady Bears are ranked 19th in the Associated Press Top 25 preseason poll, […]
Since Homecoming is in large part a time for reflecting on memories, it’s only fitting that the repository for much of Baylor’s recorded history — the Texas Collection, housed in Carroll Library — will be honored with a pair of historical markers in a ceremony on Friday. The Texas Collection is more of an archive […]
Over 150 former Baylor football players have played in the NFL over the years, but until this week, no Bear had ever been an NFL head coach.
