A friend sent me a link to this video that he found on YouTube; apparently this group, CollegeClickTV, has gone around and interviewed students on college campuses all over the U.S., asking what the students think of their college or university. It’s interesting to hear what students say about Baylor without much prompting; many of […]
With the end of the school year (graduation is this afternoon and tomorrow) comes the end of several Regents’ terms on Baylor’s Board. With that, on behalf of the Baylor family, we say a hearty “thank you” to outgoing Regents Donell Teaff, Carl Bell, Dr. Phil Lineberger, Dr. Belinda Reyes, Jim Turner, and former chair […]
My wife and I (along with much of America) saw the new Star Trek movie this weekend. Neither of us qualifies as a “Trekkie”, but we did enjoy the movie, as did most of my friends who have seen it. The movie’s release has brought attention back to the Baylor researchers who last year outlined […]
About 1,000 members of the Waco community turned out Saturday for a free tailgate before the Baylor baseball game that afternoon. My wife and I appreciated the free hot dogs and Blue Bell ice cream, and the hundreds of kids running around seemed to be enjoying the inflatables and other games put on by Baylor […]
For the second time in a year and a half, a Baylor student has won on Wheel of Fortune! Junior music education major Kassie Light came away with $11,800, including a stay at a resort in Mexico. After taping the show in February, Light had to hold her tongue until the show’s airing April 17. […]
Classes and most other work across the Baylor campus ground to a halt Thursday so that students, faculty and staff could celebrate the 75th annual Diadeloso. This year’s theme: Diapalooza, as the day’s usual events — tug of war, ultimate frisbee, the Dia Dog Show, etc. — were supplemented by an all-day music festival featuring […]
Earlier this month, Baylor served as the host for Congreso, a gathering of nearly 5,000 Hispanic youth sponsored by the Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT). Students heard from speakers on a variety of subjects, with breakout sessions ranging from “What if God had a MySpace?” to “Finding God in Pop Culture,” as well as […]
I’ve heard over and over and over again that you can’t really grasp what Baylor is about until you actually visit campus, but it’s interesting to have that confirmed in this column that ran last month in the Plainview Daily Herald. High school senior Stephanie Williams describes her visit to Baylor, writing very positively about […]
While we certainly have fun with some of the cultural phenomena that surround holidays like Easter, we also want to be respectful of all that Easter means. Rather than print a sermon in this space, I’ll just share the below video that I think sums up very well all that Jesus means as Lord and […]
A good friend of mine LOVES Peeps, the marshmallow Easter candy; she even owns the official Peeps Marshmallow Maker. I’m not sure she could bear to see any wasted, so Betsy, don’t watch this. Baylor physics professor Linda Olafsen performed some simple physics tests on Peeps for the Waco Tribune-Herald to see how the treats […]
