Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. ~ 1 Peter 4:10 As I see it, there are two ways a Baylor fan can go this year when it comes to Christmas presents (whether you’re working on your wish list, or […]
Here at Baylor, John Eddie Williams, BBA ’76, JD ’78, is well-known as a legendary attorney and transformative giver whose name adorns the field at McLane Stadium. In Houston, he is also known as one of the nation’s leading attorneys — one who happens to have a big heart for Houston’s underserved. Last month, Williams was honored […]
[9/1/16 update: She did it!] Over the course of 1,000 miles, a runner has plenty of time to think — about her life, about the people who mean the most, about what motivates someone to run a distance equal to a trip from Waco to the outskirts of Chicago. As Emily Guberman, BS ’15, runs 1,000 […]
There’s a big, red, double-decker bus on campus today that has traveled to dozens of college campuses across the country over the last three years. At each stop, the bus galvanizes college students to raise money to serve orphans using items they have in their closets and drawers. Each campus contributes something that makes a […]

The 6-foot-5 defensive tackle from Houston earned first-team All-America honors at Baylor and went on to be part of one of the most […]
The Texas flag may be red, white and blue, but the Texas governor’s office has taken on a distinctly green-and-gold hue down through the years. Since 1887, five former Bears have served as governor of Texas; in fact, no other university has educated more chief executives of the Lone Star State than Baylor. Who were these […]
Many barbecue fans travel all over Texas for great brisket and sausage, making it their mission to find the state’s best barbecue. As a Baylor student, Blake Barrow was one of them, regularly driving over 100 miles to find the best barbecue. Now, he’s making barbecue a part of his mission — by serving brisket, sausage […]
Not many Americans would willingly uproot their family to move to one of the world’s more dangerous and remote corners. But, Billy (BA ’95) and Dawn (BSEd ’98) Ray feel their calling so deeply that they couldn’t imagine not living in northern Iraq, where they have served with World Orphans since 2008. The Rays — Billy, […]
