Sweater weather, hot chocolate, roaring fires, snowfall (sometimes, at least). Christmas season is unquestionably the most wonderful time of the year — and at Baylor, the most wonderful time of the year officially begins with Christmas on 5th Street. Nutcrackers and candy canes line 5th Street through campus. Horse-drawn carriages covered in lights trot past […]
Another year at Baylor, a whole lot to be thankful for. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, it’s the perfect time of year to reflect on what we’re thankful for. I’m thankful for time with the friends and loved ones that make this season so special. I’m also thankful to be a part of a […]
Temperatures are dropping, pumpkin-flavored treats are all around, and leaves are starting to change! It’s official: Fall has finally arrived.

Thanks, as always, to everyone who made the weekend such a […]

This weekend, we again renew that tradition, as the Baylor Family returns to campus to “catch that Baylor spirit again,” as President Samuel Palmer Brooks famously wrote so long ago. As usual, the festivities begin in earnest Thursday night with Mass Meeting and the […]
Thousands of Baylor alumni will descend upon Waco November 1-3 for Homecoming 2018. Some will have returned every year since graduation; others will be setting foot on the Baylor campus for the first time in five, 10, even 20 years or longer. Regardless of how long it’s been since you’ve visited Baylor, there’s likely something […]
You know the photos: men and women dressed in layers of coats, bowler and cowboy hats abound, horse and buggies, maybe a few “horseless carriages.” Most of these kinds of photos come from the early 20th century — and the ones you’ve seen of Waco and Baylor were almost certainly shot by Fred A. “Gildy” […]
