As graduating high school seniors make their final choices on what university they will attend this fall, Baylor is already gearing up to welcome in the next group of freshman — the class of 2013. Here’s a quick glimpse at some of the faces that will be gracing campus in just a couple of months: […]
Nearly 1,900 Baylor students became Baylor alumni over the weekend during the spring commencement ceremonies; almost 140,000 people have now earned Baylor diplomas since the University’s first classes were held 163 years ago yesterday. (Happy belated birthday, Baylor!) While putting together this photo gallery, I was struck by all the joyous faces. New alumni, you’ve […]
When athletics chaplain Wes Yeary was hired last year, one of his charges was to help organize mission trips for Baylor’s student-athletes, as the former football letterman described in this Baylor Magazine feature.

I’m a big fan of the sitcom 30 Rock, so when I heard that a Baylor student had been recognized as one of NBC’s top interns, I immediately pictured Kenneth the page.

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 […]
One of the ways Baylor alumni can help other Bears is in the job process — hiring or recommending other Bears for full-time positions or internships. But rarely can Bears help other Bears as directly as this. “Don’t Mess With Texas” is selecting three college students for high-profile summer internships, where they will help teach […]
Wednesday, teams all across Major League Baseball celebrated Jackie Robinson on the 62nd anniversary of the day that the eventual Hall of Famer became the first 20th-century African American to play in the big leagues.
