Baylor students, faculty and staff pitched in last week to give hundreds of underprivileged local children a little something extra this Christmas. Approximately 800 kids converged on Baylor’s McLane Student Life Center for Santa’s Workshop, where Mr. and Mrs. Claus waited to gave out presents donated by the Baylor family. Volunteers shared lunch and played […]
I’m thankful for a lot of things, but high on the list is the opportunity to have both attended Baylor and now to work for the University. I’m thankful to those who give money to allow students who couldn’t otherwise afford college to attend Baylor. I’m thankful for teachers who work hard every day to […]
Baylor professors Dr. Alton Hassell and his wife Patricia were featured on Wednesday’s Oprah Winfrey Show during an episode focused on love. The Hassells — both Baylor alums — have written each other love letters every day over the past 27 years. If that’s not commitment, I don’t know what is! Read more about their […]
It seemed like Homecoming was a good time to share this video we found recently while strolling the Internet. The 12-minute silent (but color!) film shows several then-current Baylor students having fun on campus and at Cameron Park — back in 1939 and 1940!

It’s an epidemic — first Jeopardy, then Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, and now Wheel of Fortune! Baylor sophomore Nick Herring won almost $30,000 this week on Wheel, despite missing the final puzzle. Not a bad haul for a half-hour’s work, eh? For more on Herring’s experience, you can read this Lariat article or […]

If you haven’t visited the Bill and Eva Williams Bear Habitat since the old Bear Pit was renovated, you’re missing out. Joy and Lady have a nice new home now, and Lady has even been making appearances again at Baylor football games! Waco’s KCEN-TV (Channel 6) did a nice video feature on the pair and […]

Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. CT with the game airing on Fox College Sports Central. The game is available in the Waco area on Time […]
One of my biggest regrets looking back on college was that I didn’t participate in more activities on campus, especially as a freshman. It took me awhile to break out of my shell, and so I missed out on a lot of fun — things like Freshman Follies, for instance. The longstanding tradition continued earlier […]
Imagine a soap box derby, except instead of a soap box, you have a bed. And instead of coasting downhill, your friends are pushing that bed as fast as they can while you hang on for dear life. That’s pretty much what you get at the annual ATO Bed Races, held Friday on Fountain Mall. […]
