Not all sustainability efforts have to be big productions like recycling during Move-In or at athletic events. Sometimes it’s as simple as cleaning up after a sorority event, as Baylor’s Chi Omegas found out earlier this month after working with Baylor’s Sustainability office prior to the annual Chi Omega Crush. Just by setting aside recycling […]
Baylor football hosts the Kent State Golden Flashes tomorrow in the Bears’ final non-conference game of the season. Both tomorrow’s game (6 p.m., FSN Southwest) and the following week’s Big 12 opener at Oklahoma (2:30 p.m., ABC regional broadcast) have been picked up for television, so if you can’t make it to Waco or Norman […]
Three weeks from today, Baylor will celebrate the University’s 100th anniversary Homecoming! Make your plans now; you won’t want to miss Pigskin, Bonfire, the parade, and of course Baylor football vs. 14th-ranked Oklahoma State! Over the years, there’s been a lot of discussion about which university had the first homecoming. I think you’ll find this […]
In addition to unveiling a university Facebook page (10,500 fans and counting!) a month or so ago, Baylor has also launched an iTunes U site, offering free downloads of over 300 audio and video files, with more being added weekly. Sports fans will enjoy seeing video highlights posted just a couple of hours after each […]
Ten years ago today, the McLane Student Life Center was officially dedicated, kicking off a building boom that has seen Baylor’s facilities (and the corresponding student opportunities) grow more than during just about any other decade in our University’s long history.

My wife and I love reciting along with the “I Found Myself at Baylor” commercial that has run the past few years, mostly because the message is true for us. I really did grow up during those formative years of ages 18-22, and I’m so grateful that God led me to spend that time here […]
Having seen the difference that Baylor’s Paul L. Foster Success Center has made for students here in Waco, the University’s Louise Herrington School of Nursing (located in Dallas) recognized that their students could also benefit from such a set-up. Friday, that desire became a reality as the nursing school dedicated the Barnabas Success Center and […]
School’s been in session for almost a month already (how time flies!), which means we now have official numbers on this year’s enrollment. Even in this down economy, Baylor is bigger than ever, with 14,614 students on campus this fall — the fourth straight year that enrollment has topped 14,000. Perhaps more exciting is the […]
Baylor’s mission remains “to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring community.” Over 160 Baylor students put that emphasis on Christian service to work this summer on mission trips coordinated through Baylor’s Spiritual Life office. Twelve teams, many of them providing discipline-specific services, […]
