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 […]
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.

No. 3 seed Baylor now advances […]
As a Baylor student from Houston, I often drove through the small town of Hearne (population 4,690) headed to and from home along Highway 6. About the only thing I knew about Hearne was that it had two convenient pit stops, a Sonic and a Dairy Queen (like most Texas small towns). But like most […]
Horton Foote made his name as a writer, earning two Academy Awards (one for the screenplay of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” which is 25th on the AFI’s most recent list of the top 100 American movies ever) and a Pulitzer Prize. In retirement, when he could have chosen to work with students at any college […]
With U2’s long-awaited new album releasing in the U.S. this week and the band playing on the Late Show with David Letterman all week, it seems that the band is everywhere in entertainment news this week.
