The number of Fulbright Scholars on the Baylor campus is on the upswing. Five students received the prestigious scholarship for international study in 2007, two more accomplished the task last year, and yet another five were so honored this spring. This year’s Fulbright recipients covered five different areas of study. The first four are all […]
For the second time in a year and a half, a Baylor student has won on Wheel of Fortune! Junior music education major Kassie Light came away with $11,800, including a stay at a resort in Mexico. After taping the show in February, Light had to hold her tongue until the show’s airing April 17. […]
Classes and most other work across the Baylor campus ground to a halt Thursday so that students, faculty and staff could celebrate the 75th annual Diadeloso. This year’s theme: Diapalooza, as the day’s usual events — tug of war, ultimate frisbee, the Dia Dog Show, etc. — were supplemented by an all-day music festival featuring […]

(Click here for a photo gallery from Saturday’s events.) But […]
Baylor has a long history of producing excellent musicians, from classical to popular music. Today’s students now have an added bonus to put them on the road to a career in the music industry: Uproar Records, launched last fall as the first student-run record label in the nation. Thursday, Uproar Records held a release party […]

In December, reporters covering the Baylor women’s basketball team had the sad duty of reporting that junior Morghan Medlock‘s mother, Shannan Barron, had been shot and killed by Barron’s boyfriend; Medlock’s 12-year-old brother found the bodies.
