Just heard a very cute story from Baylor Law School’s fall commencement ceremony on Saturday… In addition to the 16 graduates who walked the stage and heard from former FBI director (and Baylor grad) William Sessions, one special attendee was awarded an honorary degree for faithful service to a fellow classmate. Skeeter, a Labrador retriever, […]
In July, we celebrated the 60th birthday of Baylor’s Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) with the news that the group had been named the top large detachment in the region. For Veterans Day, they are celebrating even better news — that the Baylor AFROTC was named the No. 1 large detachment in the […]
Before heading to the real polling places today, Baylor students in late October cast their votes for president on Hay Day — and the results are in! Who did they “elect”? Click “More” to find out.
Earlier this month, amidst the beginnings of the stock market’s most recent roller coaster ride and shortly after the announcement of the bailout plan, Baylor students and faculty flocked to Kaiser Auditorium hear a panel of professors from the Hankamer School of Business address our nation’s growing financial crisis. In front of a completely packed […]
Since the launch of Baylor’s Vision 2012, the University has placed extra emphasis on global education. An important part of that has been helping students apply to the Fulbright Program, a federal international educational exchange program which gives scholarships to help students study abroad. Earlier this week, a record 20 Baylor students submitted their applications […]
Next spring, the Baylor University Men’s Choir is headed to Argentina for a mission trip, where they will sing before all new audiences (in addition to performing service work) while experiencing a new culture themselves.

I just got word of one more example of Baylor students helping out during and following Hurricane Ike’s landfall last month and thought it was worth sharing. Among the evacuees brought to Waco were about 20 nursing home residents suffering from dementia. Dealing with an evacuation is stressful for anyone, but for people with dementia, […]
If you attended Baylor in the last 50 years or so, chances are that you took “Packard Physics” — the introductory physics course for non-science majors taught by the legendary Dr. Robert Packard. Honored as one of Baylor’s select Master Teachers in 1990 and voted the Collins Outstanding Professor by the senior class in 2001, […]
Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama will square off tonight in the second of three scheduled debates. During the first debate on September 26 (and again during the vice-presidential debate last week), The New York Times enlisted a panel of student newspaper editors from colleges around the country to share their thoughts on the […]
September at Baylor just wouldn’t be the same without Freshman Follies, an annual campus tradition since long before I arrived here. The free event gives first-year students a chance to unwind and just be silly, dousing one another with food and shaving cream. Most of us could use a day like that every now and […]
