Baylor alum Roxanne Wilson, who earned some measure of fame from appearing on The Apprentice a couple of years ago, was the guest speaker in Chapel last week. My wife and I watched that season of The Apprentice pretty regularly. (For those who didn’t, Roxanne represented Baylor well, both in the integrity she displayed and […]
Last Thursday, East met West in the heart of Baylor’s campus as the Asian Student Association and Campus Programs hosted a Chinese New Year celebration in Burleson Quadrangle. A family craft tent, free food and traditional games welcomed visitors. A martial arts group from Dallas demonstrated kung fu and tai chi, while other groups performed […]
Baylor School of Music grad student Stephen Carver was selected as one of five up-and-coming young conductors from across the country to conduct at the National Conference of the College Orchestra Conductors Association, to be held later this month in Utah. A second-semester master’s candidate, Carver and the other four honorees will conduct the Brigham […]

Students will be able to recycle paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, and both aluminum and tin cans. The University actually set a new record for recycling this past year, sending off 160 tons of paper and […]
Last week on ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption,” host Michael Wilbon commented that “They don’t care this much about basketball, for the most part, at Baylor,” holding his thumb and index finger a half-inch apart.

[…]
Baylor’s has joined a growing number of universities in opening a campus chapter of ONE, a non-profit group dedicated to raising awareness of extreme poverty. In fact, the Baylor chapter has grown so quickly that it already ranks among the top 50 in the nation. For its efforts, Baylor got to send a representative to […]
The beginning of a new year seems as good a time as any to look at why we are “Baylor Proud.” You’ve likely heard the commercials or seen the advertisements — “I found myself at Baylor.” It was certainly true for me, and that connection has held strong for me since graduation — whether I […]
Nearly 800 Baylor students walked across the stage at the Ferrell Center Saturday, receiving their diplomas at the annual winter commencement ceremony. These now-former students join the ranks of the more than 135,000 graduates Baylor has produced over the years. Sic ’em, new Baylor alums!
Growing up, bowling has always been a nice fall-back option for a family event when we couldn’t think of anything else to do. My parents bowled in a league before I was born (my mom’s garage is lined with old trophies), my wife and I went bowling almost weekly while we were dating, and we […]
