Next month, Baylor will continue to expand its recycling efforts by placing 145 recycle bins in residence halls across campus. 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. I think the hundreds of students who stood in line Friday outside the Ferrell Center through rain and temperatures in the […]
I was impressed to read this morning in the Waco Tribune-Herald that a crowd of about 200 fans, mostly students, gathered on the spur of the moment at the Ferrell Center — despite rain and temperatures around 40 degrees — to welcome home the men’s basketball team bus when it arrived back from College Station.

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 […]

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 […]
When you leave Baylor University, how will you be remembered? For years, Baylor’s graduating seniors have contributed towards a class gift to benefit other students after they are gone. Recent class gifts have led to the re-landscaping of gardens around Burleson Quadrangle and the creation of a prayer garden next to Marrs McLean Gymnasium. My […]
Baylor students, faculty and staff pitched in last week to give hundreds of underprivileged local children a little something extra this Christmas. Approximately 800 kids converged on Baylor’s McLane Student Life Center for Santa’s Workshop, where Mr. and Mrs. Claus waited to gave out presents donated by the Baylor family. Volunteers shared lunch and played […]
It’s December, which means Christmas is quickly approaching.
