While I was in Chapel as a student, I took for granted that we could hear speakers like this on a regular basis; as an alum, I&#8217;m happy to know that students are still getting this sort of encouragement and admonition as part of a Baylor education.<\/p>\n<p>Sic \u2019em, Chapel programmers, and sic \u2019em, Roxanne!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
