If raising funds for scholarships wasn’t enough, Student Foundation’s Bearathon, dubbed “The Toughest Half-Marathon in Texas” just took racing to the next level. Introducing cup-free racing. Student Foundation members had green fever, so they put their heads together and found a way to prevent more than 28,000 cups from littering the Bearathon course and Waco […]
Habitat for Humanity was founded in Georgia in 1976; eleven years later, Baylor Habitat became the first Habitat Campus Chapter in the world. Today, there are nearly 500 campus chapters at U.S. high schools and colleges, and Baylor’s — the granddaddy of them all, so to speak — is still going strong. Baylor Habitat for […]
All University Sing snuck up on me this year! Is it really the end of February already?? Inconceivable! Thankfully, the student participants were, as always, ready to go when performances began last weekend. Baylor Photography, of course, was there as well to capture some of the magic that is Sing 2010; click here for a […]
For the second time in two weeks, the Baylor campus received (by Texas standards) a pretty good coating of snow yesterday. Officially, Waco got 3 inches, leading the University to close down at 2 p.m. Tuesday as students traded studying for snowball fights and other winter fun. Baylor Photography braved the cold to snap plenty […]

Starr again received a nice ovation when introduced during […]
At Baylor Proud, our goal is to trumpet the good things going on within the Baylor family, in order to share that news with those inside and outside the Baylor community. Not to toot our own horn, but I think we’re fairly good at that. Actually playing a trumpet, however — not so much. Baylor, […]
By bedtime last night, Dallas/Fort Worth had racked up a single-day record of over 9 inches of snow. Waco didn’t get nearly that much — an inch or two, depending on the part of town — but resourceful students took the opportunity to have some winter fun, as snowmen popped up all over campus on […]
More than 900 new CPAs were sworn in last November by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy; during the ceremony, Baylor grad Nikki Laing, BBA ’06, was recognized as one of the top 10 highest scorers in the state on the CPA exam. Laing — now a Baylor Law student — hasn’t followed the […]
