\"BaylorWe try not to be too self-promoting here — after all, this is “Baylor<\/em> Proud,” not “Baylor Proud<\/em> Proud” — but some recent recognition we received reflects well not only on us, but on Baylor University as a whole.<\/p>\n

According to data compiled by Klout.com, Baylor is the No. 5 most influential college on Twitter<\/a> — surpassed only by Stanford, Syracuse, Harvard and Wisconsin, and ahead of, well, any other university you can think of (in Texas, the Big 12, etc.).<\/p>\n

The Klout Score<\/a> is based on “the size of your engaged audience” (number of followers, total retweets, etc.), “the likelihood that your content will be acted upon” (number of people messaging with us, unique retweeters, etc.), and “the influence level of your engaged audience” (how influential are the people retweeting, messaging, following, etc.). In other words, because the Baylor family includes some important folks and because our audience seems to be enjoying Baylor Proud so much, we get a high score<\/a> — so this honor really reflects on not just Baylor Proud, but all of Baylor Nation.<\/p>\n
