With Baylor football playing in this year’s Armed Forces Bowl, this seemed as good a time as any to look back at BU’s long history of connections to the U.S. military via the BaylorProud archives. Whether it’s preparing students for service to our country, or alumni who have dedicated (and even given) their lives serving […]
Gabe Madison’s résumé is the kind Fortune 500 bosses drool over: 22 years of corporate experience (including over a decade at Thomson Reuters), numerous placements on “most powerful business leaders” lists… Her corporate climb was surely on track to the top. That all changed in September when Madison (BBA ’00) left the corporate sphere to […]
As we noted earlier this fall, the Congressional Award gold medal is the highest honor presented to youth by the U.S. Congress. In September, we shared that young alum Andy Kim (BA ’22) had earned the award — only to learn that he wasn’t the only Bear so honored this year! Welles McDevitt, a freshman […]
Most every Baylor alum knows the university’s motto: Pro Ecclesia, Pro Texana — for the church, for Texas. Befitting the Lone Star State’s oldest continuously operating university, our impact has lived out that phrase for more than 175 years in a variety of ways. Today, Baylor is a global university, with research addressing challenges both […]

Beyond that, each […]
San Antonio and Baylor share a military connection that provides a natural fit for a groundbreaking brigadier general with decades of medical and military leadership. Dr. Deydre Teyhen (DPT ’95) was recently promoted to the rank of brigadier general in the U.S. Army and given command of San Antonio’s Brooke Army Medical Center. Notably, she […]
Baylor’s not the only school in the country where volunteers line up to help new students move into their residence halls — but it’s hard to believe any school does it better. More than 2,000 Baylor students, faculty/staff and community volunteers were out in Texas summer heat Wednesday and Thursday, helping new Baylor students (both […]
A distinguishing part of the Baylor experience is the caring community on campus. One way we do that? Faculty-in-Residence! These Baylor professors (many of them also BU alumni) don’t just work on campus; they live on campus, too, in designated apartment-style homes inside most residence halls, along with their families. The goal: Fostering students’ social, […]
For students interested in science, a chemistry lab is a wonderland to explore. But for those without science backgrounds, it can be a mysterious labyrinth of equipment, beakers, cases and experiments that require precision and expertise. Imagine yourself as a student hungry to learn and participate — and consider how difficult it would be to do […]
