While most Baylor students were wrapping up finals and planning their Christmas break last month, two Bears were earning major national awards for their academic accomplishments. Sophia Fulton, a senior in the Business Fellows program at Baylor, was awarded the Charles B. Rangel Graduate Fellowship. Endowed by the U.S. Department of State, this highly competitive […]
Baylor recently announced that, beginning in late January, all faculty, staff and students will be tested for COVID-19 every week. Yes, that’s a lot. And testing fatigue is real. So why is Baylor making this move? The short answer: So that everything else about campus life — from classes to extracurriculars — can be as […]
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Baylor Line — one of college football’s great traditions. (If you’re new and wondering, “What’s the Baylor Line?”, we’ve got you covered here.) As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, Baylor Student Activities put together three incredible videos they call “Stories from the Line” — tales that […]

Baylor alumni Dan (BBA ’89) and Jenni (BBA ’92) Hord could have done a lot of things with their money. They’ve chosen to use it to help Baylor students. The Hords’ transformational $30 million gift commitment to Baylor will provide countless merit-based scholarships to deserving students. And their gift doesn’t stop there; an additional component […]
