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.

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 […]
Baylor has a long history of producing excellent musicians, from classical to popular music. Today’s students now have an added bonus to put them on the road to a career in the music industry: Uproar Records, launched last fall as the first student-run record label in the nation. Thursday, Uproar Records held a release party […]
Yes, Baylor Proud is now on Twitter. (What’s Twitter? Click here to find out.) Our goal here at Baylor Proud has always been to share news of the good things happening at Baylor — or, as we’ve put it before, to be the Baylor family’s refrigerator door. With that in mind, we’re constantly on the […]
My wife and I got engaged while we were living in Pennsylvania, and in the end we decided to get married at the church she grew up attending in Florida. We briefly considered getting married at Baylor, but until recently I hadn’t realized just how many amazing places there are around campus to get married. […]
Most of campus was focused yesterday on the Baylor men’s basketball team’s big win over Georgetown in the first round of the NIT; a highly energized crowd of 8,400 saw the Bears earn their first postseason victory in nearly 60 years, as BU came away with a 74-72 win. No. 3 seed Baylor now advances […]
