A couple of months ago, we wrote about the new Baylor coffee table book that was about to be released, titled Baylor: A Legacy of Spirit, Tradition, Beauty. The book is out now, and while I didn’t receive it for Christmas (it was on my wish list), I probably will go pick up a copy […]
Final exams start today, so you can probably guess what students have been doing recently. Yep — studying. Moody Library, the Paul L. Foster Success Center, the Bill Daniel Student Union Building, and commons rooms of the various residential facilities are among the most popular sites for students these days — in fact, at many […]
This year’s Christmas on 5th Street coincided with the first real cold front of the winter here in Waco, making it truly feel like Christmas time. With classes winding down (today is the last day; finals start Thursday) and temperatures dropping down (lows in the 20s predicted later this week!), I’m officially ready for Christmas. […]
Around 800 Baylor students participate each year in study abroad programs; around 250 are in semester- or year-long programs, while the rest go on short-term summer trips. Each fall, the Center for International Education (which coordinates the study abroad programs as well as assisting international students here at Baylor) sponsors a photo contest in which […]
When I wrote on Monday about how great the weekend was for Baylor athletics, I forgot that it was also Sibling Day! To help little brothers and sisters of current Baylor students get a feel for what life at Baylor is like, siblings were specifically invited to campus for the weekend. In addition to the […]
Well that was certainly a fun weekend for fans of Baylor athletics! If you weren’t following along, here’s what you missed: * Baylor football blew out Texas A&M, 41-21, on Senior Day at Floyd Casey Stadium. The game wasn’t even as close as the score indicated, as the Aggies scored two touchdowns late after the […]
I hope that you were able to make it back for Homecoming last weekend. From Pigskin to the Bonfire, the parade to the football game, it was (as usual) a blast to reunite with old friends and celebrate the Baylor spirit. The fine folks at Baylor Photography rounded up pictures for this slideshow summary of […]
It’s Homecoming Week, and Madelyne here is among a host of pets who clearly wish they could have been bears — Baylor Bears. Given the spirit they’re showing in this photo gallery, I think we can dub these dogs and cats honorary Bears for the week. (If you’ve got Baylor spirit pics you think might […]
Head coach Art Briles picked up his first Big 12 Conference win with style Saturday as the Bears swept past Iowa State, 38-10. True freshman quarterback Robert Griffin continued to impress, completing 21-of-24 pass attempts for 278 yards and two touchdowns, but Griffin shared the Parents Weekend spotlight with fellow freshman Kendall Wright. (Those two […]
September at Baylor just wouldn’t be the same without Freshman Follies, an annual campus tradition since long before I arrived here. The free event gives first-year students a chance to unwind and just be silly, dousing one another with food and shaving cream. Most of us could use a day like that every now and […]
