Winning a conference title is hard. Sweeping both the regular season and conference tournament titles in the same year? Even more impressive. But doing it eight times in nine years — well, that’s almost unfathomable. But that’s exactly what Baylor women’s basketball has accomplished, following last night’s 67-49 win over Iowa State. A tight game for […]
Practically every Baylor student over the past 60+ years has taken at least one class in Tidwell Bible Building, home today to the university’s religion and history departments. When Baylor announced last fall the launch of “Give Light” — a $1.1 billion fundraising campaign to support the university’s strategic plan, Illuminate — a top-to-bottom renovation of […]
Since 2008, a “search and rescue mission” has been underway in the basement of Moody Library. A true labor of love, this work has found its way into dusty tape and record collections, made friends with unsung heroes of the civil rights movement, been featured extensively in national media, and even has a home in […]

The tree in Burleson Quad is lit, and it’s officially Christmas on Baylor’s campus! Thursday night kicked off the most wonderful time of the year with the annual Christmas on 5th Street celebration. As always, the classic entryway arch set the scene for this beloved Baylor tradition. A live nativity outside the Bill Daniel Student […]
Sweater weather, hot chocolate, roaring fires, snowfall (sometimes, at least). Christmas season is unquestionably the most wonderful time of the year — and at Baylor, the most wonderful time of the year officially begins with Christmas on 5th Street.

Thousands upon thousands of Baylor Family members filled campus this past weekend, taking advantage of the beautiful weather to enjoy all the traditions of Homecoming, from bonfire and Pigskin to the parade and the football game — an incredible come-from-behind win over Oklahoma State.
