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, […]

Baseball fans from Waco to Denver (and beyond) remember Jason Jennings as a star ballplayer who was college baseball’s first consensus National Player of the Year, then the National League Rookie of the Year when he arrived in the majors.
