Sometime next summer, it will pop up on newsstands across the Lone Star State, and when it does, everyone will know that football season isn’t too far away.

For half a century now, the combined choirs and orchestra of Baylor’s School of Music have heralded the arrival of Christmas with a joyful worship performance. This month, a remastered presentation of their Emmy-nominated and Telly Award-winning “A Baylor Christmas” production will air on stations across Texas and 23 other states. During sold-out performances in […]

It’s hard to believe the fall semester has drawn to a close. God has blessed Baylor in so many ways as we’ve managed the COVID-19 pandemic, from a Big 12 Football Championship and top-10 basketball, football and volleyball teams to beautiful music and theatrical performances, as well as significant progress toward R1 status and our $1.1 billion Give Light goal – all while holding firm to and advancing our Christian mission

Has it really been 10 years?? It’s hard to believe, but a decade has now passed since Robert Griffin III (BA ’10) took the college football world by storm and set a new standard for what Baylor football players could accomplish. His memorable season — including an opening night comeback win over TCU, the miraculous […]

A Baylor legend, Bill Glass (BA ’57), passed away earlier this week at age 86. His death was widely reported, most notably in an Associated Press story that was picked up by more than 200 media outlets. Most of those stories focused on his athletic success. An all-American football player at Baylor in 1956, Glass […]

After celebrating virtually last year, Christmas on 5th Street was back in all its glory this year to usher in the most wonderful time of the year!

As the nation’s No. 5 national seed, Baylor volleyball has high expectations for this year’s NCAA tournament — and so far, they’re off to a winning start.

What a weekend: Baylor upset Oklahoma State on Saturday, 21-16, to claim the program’s third Big 12 title and clinch a spot in the 2022 Allstate Sugar Bowl! The moment that will live on from Saturday’s victory was senior safety Jairon McVea’s incredible diving, goal-line tackle that left Oklahoma State just inches short of a […]

Waco native Doris Miller was one of the first American heroes of World War II, and a civil rights icon whose heroism at Pearl Harbor helped desegregate the U.S. military — all before his tragic death at age 24. When Dr. T. Michael Parrish, the Linden G. Bowers Professor of American History at Baylor, began […]

Among the most discussed rankings in all of higher education is U.S News & World Report’s “Best College Rankings,” and Baylor is consistently ranked among the very best schools in the nation. But there’s more than just the general college ranking for the Baylor Family to take pride in. Once again this year, Baylor received […]

The first indication a visitor receives that Baylor’s Armstrong Browning Library is a special place is the entrance. Bronze doors, each weighing nearly a ton, open slowly as they dramatically reveal what’s inside — and what’s inside is not only one of the most beautiful facilities on the Baylor campus, but one of the most […]

For the second time in three years, Baylor football is headed to the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game! The No. 9-ranked Bears will face No. 5-ranked Oklahoma State on Saturday at AT&T Stadium (11 a.m., ABC). Fun fact: Since the Big 12 restored its conference championship game in 2017, only two schools have made […]

All year long, Baylor volleyball has been one of the sport’s best teams — and now, they’re a top national seed as the NCAA Tournament is set to begin on Thursday. Head coach Ryan McGuyre’s team earned the No. 5 overall seed and the right to play the first and second rounds of the tournament […]

For so many, Thanksgiving means food, football, and maybe the start of Christmas shopping. But before we get to all that, let’s remember why it’s called “Thanksgiving” — by giving thanks for some of what the blessings we, the Baylor Family, have received this year: * Getting back to normal — After a year of […]

When Dr. Byron Johnson first suggested the idea that is now the Global Flourishing Study, responses from potential collaborators ranged from “a pie in the sky” to “crazy.” Now, it’s being called a “dream come true” and the “largest initiative of its kind ever to study human flourishing.” The Global Flourishing Study is off and […]

For over a decade, Baylor Libraries has proudly tended to the Black Gospel Music Restoration Project (BGMRP), the world’s largest initiative to identify, acquire, scan, digitize, catalog and make accessible America’s fast-vanishing legacy of vinyl from gospel music’s “Golden Age.” Since its launch in 2006, the BGMRP has grown in size and reputation. The collection […]

Universities are always busy places — but the next few years are going to be particularly busy at Baylor, following recent announcements from BU’s Board of Regents. Highlights include: * Faculty hires: Baylor announced plans to hire and support 100 new faculty members — 20 a year for five years — in support of the […]

In the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul encouraged the members of the Christian community he had founded in Thessalonica to be strong in their faith. He wrote, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Hosted and produced by Amazing Race winner Alex Boylan, The College Tour is a powerful series created to empower high school students to virtually travel across […]

Well THAT was certainly a fun weekend. From hanging a national championship banner in the Ferrell Center rafters, to sharing our campus with millions of viewers on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff, to beating No. 4-ranked Oklahoma on the field at McLane Stadium — yeah, that’s worth reliving. Let’s start with Friday night, when head coach […]

Last week was big for Baylor as the Board of Regents affirmed the next five years of our Illuminate strategic plan.

As the author of such classics as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain has long been considered by many to be “the father of American literature.” His writings, whether they were satire or speech, shaped prose throughout the 19th century (and continue to influence it today). In honor of […]

Have seven months really passed since that magical April night when the Baylor men’s basketball team hoisted the trophy and etched their name in history with a decisive national championship game win over Gonzaga?

When the 2021-22 Baylor women’s basketball season tips off Tuesday night, fans will get their first regular season chance to see a team that brings an exciting blend of aspects both familiar and new to the court. It’s the first season under new head coach Nicki Collen, who was named to the job in May […]

Asian and Pacific American Heritage Month is celebrated in the United States each May — but since Baylor students are usually focused on final exams and then headed off for summer then, the university celebrates the month from mid-October to mid-November each year. Regardless of the dates, it’s a good time for celebrating the contributions, […]

This week marks the quarterly meeting for Baylor’s Board of Regents as it considers the next five years of our strategic plan Illuminate, which impacts the entire campus from academics to athletics.

“That Good old Baylor Line That Good old Baylor Line We’ll march forever down the years As long as stars shall shine We’ll fling our Green and Gold afar To light the ways of time And guide us as we onward go That good old Baylor Line.” A Baylor tradition that unites us all — […]

Baylor is filled with faculty, staff and administrators whose fascinating work and deep sense of mission give us plenty of worthy stories to tell. But unless you’re on campus, you can’t always hear those stories straight from the source. Enter Baylor Connections, the weekly radio show and podcast that introduces listeners to the people who […]

Baylor’s beloved American black bears, Joy and Lady, made history this weekend as the first live college mascots to send a tweet — thanks to a custom, paw-friendly Twitter app, mounted in a bear-sized wooden box placed in the Habitat. And the ladies didn’t stop at just one tweet; they were active on social media […]

1953 was the year that TV Guide debuted, the first confirmed climbers reached the top of Mount Everest, Watson and Crick determined the structure of DNA — and Walter Counts (BBA ’57) attended his first Baylor vs. Texas football game. Counts hasn’t missed once since. This weekend, Counts will attend his 69th consecutive BU-UT football […]

As we look forward to the next five years of our strategic plan Illuminate, we have so much to celebrate.

About a month before the 2021 Texas State Japanese Language Speech Contest, Dr. Yuko Prefume (BA ’04, MSED ’06, EDD ’15), a senior lecturer in Japanese at Baylor, asked then-junior Matthew Ho if he wanted to enter the competition. A little hesitant at first, and not knowing much about what would be involved, Ho said […]

Fall is “national rankings” season in higher ed, and Baylor’s report card is looking good: ranked among the top 20% of universities nationwide; on a short list for best undergraduate teaching and best undergraduate research opportunities; listed among the nation’s best student experiences by the Wall Street Journal and U.S. News; and even named to the […]

As simple tributes to those who have gone before us, they are easy to miss or take for granted. But 140+ of the red granite lampposts scattered across Baylor’s campus are more than just utilitarian lighting — they are memorials to those who have served our country, including many who gave their lives in action. […]

Since 1953, Baylor students have celebrated what is today known as “Dr Pepper Hour” — enjoying free Dr Pepper floats in Barfield Drawing Room as a time for relaxing and socializing with friends and faculty. Earlier this fall, Baylor took this beloved tradition on the road to high schools across Texas, testing out a program […]

What a great Homecoming we had last week! It was so good to celebrate “everything Baylor” with all of you, along with our friends, alumni and Wacoans.

If you ask a BU student or alum what Baylor means to them, you’re likely to hear stories about brilliant, caring professors, classes that stimulated their imagination and helped carve their future paths, and organizations or activities that introduced them to friends who lasted a lifetime. While our top-tier academic rankings are a point of […]

Lady and Joy have been called “the world’s most beloved black bears,” and that love was manifested in the prayers and support the Baylor Family showed Lady over the past two years during a pair of health concerns. But even the most devoted fans of Baylor’s bears may not know the full story of Lady’s path […]

The best weekend of the year is undoubtedly #BaylorHomecoming! With all the usual Homecoming traditions back for 2021, this past weekend was a particularly special Baylor Family reunion, filled with unforgettable memories and moments together. @bayloru##BaylorHomecoming 🔥 is the best homecoming that’s all the end | ##POV ##GameDay ##Rocktober♬ 

Baylor hosted the nation’s first collegiate homecoming event in 1909, and even after a year “off” due to COVID-19, I can tell you that our campus is abuzz this week as current students are enjoying many Baylor Homecoming traditions and preparing for the return of tens of thousands of alumni and friends to Waco this weekend.

Visiting Waco and wondering where/what to eat? One extra benefit to Waco’s growth in recent years has been the development of a true Waco food scene. Baylor alumni have played big roles in the city’s recent culinary development, as the forces behind new favorites such as Pinewood Coffee Bar, The Olive Branch, Revival Eastside Eatery, […]

A trivia question for you, as Baylor football prepares to host BYU for Homecoming 2021 (and, in a couple of years, to welcome the Cougars into the Big 12): Who was BYU’s Heisman-finalist starting quarterback the last time the Bears and Cougars met? Longtime Baylor fans may recall that BYU and Baylor previously squared off […]

Thousands of Baylor alumni descend upon Waco each fall for Homecoming. Some have returned every year since graduation; others are setting foot on the Baylor campus for the first time in five, 10, even 20 years or longer. Regardless of how long it’s been since you’ve visited Baylor, there’s likely something new you haven’t seen […]

After COVID-19 made last year’s Homecoming unlike anything we’d seen before, all your favorite traditions are back for 2021: Mass Meeting. Pigskin. Bonfire. Parade. Football. Yes, Homecoming Week is finally here! It all begins Monday with Homecoming Chapel and Vertical Worship on Fountain Mall, followed by Dinner with the Livingstones and a free concert from […]

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated each year from Sept. 15-Oct. 15 as a time for celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of Americans whose family cultures hail from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. (Why does it begin on Sept. 15, you ask? Because that’s the anniversary of independence for five Latin […]

Next week is Homecoming 2021! We have a fun student tradition to kick off Homecoming Week called “Dinner with the Livingstones,” and I want to invite all students to join the First Gent and me at Allbritton House on Tuesday from 6-8 p.m.

Librarians are the heartbeat behind education, research, and exploration through reading. Texas recently announced a new state librarian — and she’s a Baylor grad! On September 1, Gloria Meraz (BA ’90) began her new role as director of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) and Texas State Librarian. Notably, Meraz is both the […]

Baylor is not only a great university to attend; it’s also a great place to work! For the 10th time, Baylor has been named a “Great College to Work For” following a nationwide survey released recently in The Chronicle of Higher Education. This year, 196 colleges and universities were compared to reveal which universities provide […]

Cape Canaveral has long been synonymous with space launches in the United States — from the earliest space flights (Mercury, Gemini and Apollo) through the space shuttle era to today. What many don’t realize is that Cape Canaveral is part of a larger unit — Space Launch Delta 45, part of the U.S. Space Force. […]

Earlier today I had the opportunity to testify before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Commerce of the Committee on Energy and Commerce in Washington, D.C., regarding many of the challenges facing intercollegiate athletics.

Artificial intelligence (AI) used to be a fantasy, found only in science fiction. Today, it propels society forward in countless ways; even the phones in our pockets include multilingual translators, photo apps that recognize faces, and intelligent assistants that can understand spoken commands (thanks, Siri). This is all made possible through the process of deep […]

The road that led Dr. Sandeep Mazumder to Baylor’s Hankamer School of Business began in London, featured stops at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, introduced him to his wife and the Christian faith, and prepared him as a rising star in higher education. Mazumder was named as the William E. Crenshaw Endowed Dean […]

Very few universities today can (or would) claim to be preeminent research institutions that fearlessly proclaim the name of Jesus — but that is Baylor’s aim. We recognize that all truth is God’s truth — so at Baylor, our academic strivings and research efforts are all about learning more about what God has made on […]

While we hope all Baylor students find certain things in common while here — strong teaching and academics amidst a caring, Christian community, for starters — we know there’s no one “Baylor experience.” With students coming from all 50 states, more than 90 countries, and countless backgrounds, every student’s time at Baylor is going to […]

Tomorrow will be an exciting time as we highlight Baylor research in a day-early celebration of National Research Administrator Day. Throughout Friday, you will see stories on social media highlighting our outstanding faculty, and I hope you will consider sharing some of them to amplify the news of Baylor’s incredible research.

When Michigan defensive coordinator Maurice Linguist (BA ’06, MSED ’07) was hired as the University of Buffalo’s new head football coach in May, he became just the fourth Baylor alumnus to earn a football head coaching job at the Division 1 level. Linguist, who distinguished himself as an all-Big 12 performer and defensive MVP at […]

Only a fraction of the schools U.S. News reviews each year come out with high scores for both undergraduate teaching and undergraduate research opportunities. Baylor now ranks among the top 40 nationally in both categories — part of a short list filled with schools such as Duke, Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale. Overall, U.S. News […]

By now, you’ve probably heard the news — that the Big 12 Conference is going to expand by four members in the next few years, adding BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati and Houston. Baylor fans are likely familiar with Houston, as a fellow Texas school (and former Southwest Conference opponent) — but what about the other […]

I am officially declaring this week as “The Week of Good News” for Baylor! Beginning last Friday with the additions of BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati and Houston to the Big 12 Conference, we’ve been on a roll with several positive developments related to the University:

You don’t have to search far to find Baylor faculty conducing high-level research. They’re in labs, classrooms and fields, where they drive breakthroughs for clean water, create tools for health and serve the underserved — just to name a few. This month, Baylor is again sharing that message far and wide. Be watching for five […]

A new school year and a new football season present a new opportunity to share what Baylor is all about.

Baylor football opened up McLane Stadium for 2021 in style on Saturday, defeating Texas Southern 66-7. The dominating win featured plenty of highlights on the field, and plenty to celebrate surrounding the game as well; Saturday marked the first time since the start of the pandemic that McLane Stadium was open at 100% capacity, and […]

Everyone who lived through 9/11 has a story about where they were that fateful morning. This week, Baylor has been sharing those stories from a variety of Bears (see below). President Linda Livingstone recalls dropping off her daughter at kindergarten before heading to work in Hankamer/Cashion. Tommy Marshall (now Air Force Lt. Col. Marshall, BS […]

Sept. 11 will forever be remembered as an important day in U.S. history as terrorists attacked our homeland and threatened our safety, security and the freedoms we hold dear.

The Baylor Family is growing, and it’s not just incoming students seeing their numbers increase. This year, the university has welcomed more than 50 new faculty members and research staff. Professors and postdocs are joining Baylor from such prestigious institutions as the University of Virginia, Brown University, NYU School of Law and Wake Forest — […]

New school year = new campus offerings! The fall semester is in full swing; here’s a look at some of what’s new on campus: Revolve: You may have noticed the lobby on the first floor of the SUB has received a bit of facelift to welcome a new space: Revolve. This rotating eatery will feature […]

I know the events of the past week — from the U.S. military’s departure from Afghanistan abroad to the devastation and hardships created by Hurricane Ida closer to home — have left many members of the Baylor Family feeling deep pain and heartache.

If last year was a season of adjustments for Baylor football — a new head coach, a cancelled spring practice, COVID-19 protocols and challenges, key injuries and schedule changes — there’s a lot this season that feels refreshed. The football program enjoyed its first spring camp under head coach Dave Aranda, propelling the team further […]

With the start of the new school year came the reopening of one of the most beloved buildings on campus: Tidwell Bible Building, which had been closed since May 2020 for an extensive renovation. The work on the 67-year-old building — one of the priority capital projects of Baylor’s “Give Light” campaign — was completed […]

It was a transformative new facility along the Brazos River, raising a program to new heights and expanding the Baylor campus further along the water. We’re talking, of course, about the Sheila and Walter Umphrey Law Center, which remains one of the nation’s top law school facilities as it celebrates its 20th birthday this year. […]

You may have seen Waco Mayor Dillon Meek's quote yesterday that our local healthcare system is near "the brink of collapse" due to COVID-19. As I participated in a call with our community leaders yesterday morning, it has become clear – the local hospital situation is indeed dire. As of Wednesday morning, all 54 intensive care unit beds in McLennan County were in use, with 45 being filled by COVID-19 patients. Health officials reported that 92.4% of the currently hospitalized patients were unvaccinated.

Top national rankings, deep postseason runs, nationally-recognized performers, Big 12 leaders — each has become a staple of the Baylor volleyball program under head coach Ryan McGuyre, and this year’s team is poised to continue that string of excellence with an abundance of returning talent and exciting newcomers as they begin the season Friday. The […]

For more than three decades, Vice Admiral John G. Hannink (JD ’94) has faithfully served our country in the U.S. Navy. From his early days as the public affairs officer aboard the USS Nimitz to his current post as the Judge Advocate General (JAG) of the Navy, it’s safe to say Hannink has had a […]

Baylor’s not the only school in the country where volunteers line up to help new students move into their residence halls — but it’s hard to believe any school does it better. Wednesday and Thursday, thousands of new Baylor students (both freshmen and transfers) were helped into their new homes by an equal number of […]

It’s finally here – the start of the fall semester! The First Gent and I enjoyed meeting so many of our incoming students and their families as part of Move2BU, although I must admit that my back is a little sore!

While it’s common for incoming freshmen to be welcomed to college by campus leaders, it’s not so common for that encouragement to come in the form of a hymn — but that’s what we do at Baylor. Since 2008, each incoming class has been welcomed with its own unique hymn, each capturing an aspect of […]

Whether you’re a space buff or simply watching the news, you’ve likely seen or read about America’s endeavors in space recently. From research taking place on the International Space Station, to a future return to the Moon, to commercialization of space closer to home, there’s plenty to highlight — and there’s a good chance a […]

The roots of Rev. Dr. Angela Gorrell’s insights into joy and suffering stem in part from a profound dichotomy she experienced in her personal and professional life. After receiving her doctorate, Gorrell had joined the Yale Center for Faith and Culture, focusing on joy in modern life, when — less than a year into her […]

We are in the homestretch! Only 11 more days until we begin the fall semester at Baylor. It is an incredibly exciting time for everyone, and I can’t wait to see our students back on campus and throughout the Waco community.

One of the things we look forward to every summer is seeing all the amazing places Baylor Bears fling their green and gold. With COVID-19 restrictions loosened (even if only temporarily), it was wonderful to see students and alumni share their adventures — and their Baylor pride — on social media. Here are 10 of […]

For many with a crafty or creative bent, a trip to Michaels for supplies is a regular item on their to-do list. The stores are well-known for arts and crafts, do-it-yourself gifts and décor — but what you might not know is that they’re led by a Baylor graduate. Ashley Buchanan (BBA ’96, MBA ’98) […]

As I reflect over the past couple of weeks and the whirlwind of uncertainty relating to intercollegiate athletics, a few things have resonated with me during conversations with members of the Baylor Family, testifying in front of the Texas Senate’s select committee and discussions with others across the country.

Summer means internships for most Baylor students. For sophomore Corinna Kent, that internship meant delivering a baby. Over the summer, Kent has been working toward her EMT certification at MassBay Community College back home in Needham, Mass. As part of the pre-med track at Baylor, Kent felt the added course and experience would help her […]

Baylor basketball’s historic year continued Thursday night, as the reigning national champions had two players selected in the NBA draft (and two more sign pro contracts afterwards). Davion Mitchell went first, selected No. 9 overall by the Sacramento Kings — the third Bear ever chosen with a top-10 pick, following Vinnie Johnson (No. 7 in […]

The countdown continues – 25 days until the start of the fall semester on Aug. 23. Wow! Our faculty and staff have been diligently preparing for the return of our students for what promises to be an exciting semester.

Baylor’s robust Olympic history isn’t limited to a celebrated list of student-athletes who have made their alma mater proud for more than a century. There’s also at least one Baylor professor who can claim to have competed as one of the world’s best. Dr. Alex Yokochi came to Baylor in 2017 as a professor of […]

Viewers of the 2001 film A Beautiful Mind were introduced to the story of mathematician John Nash, who dramatically extended the field of game theory — the study of a set of agents, making decisions simultaneously, whose decisions impact one another. Dr. Jameson Graber, an assistant professor of mathematics at Baylor, is among the many […]

Time is certainly flying as we enter the final stretch of summer. In fact, we have only 32 days until fall classes begin at Baylor University! Our faculty, staff and I look forward to welcoming everyone back to our beautiful campus.

A school-record six former Baylor student-athletes are in Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics, as they begin this week (one year late due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Trayvon Bromell (BSED ’18, track & field), Brittney Griner (BSED ’19, basketball) and John Peers (tennis) are each on Olympic rosters for the second time, while more recent […]

If you’ve spent any time at all around Baylor’s campus, then you’re probably familiar with the name “McLane.” For the last three-plus decades, Drayton McLane Jr. (BBA ’58), has been one of Baylor’s biggest and most dedicated benefactors, from his service as a Baylor Regent to the bells in Pat Neff Hall, the McLane Student Life […]

As Baylor’s Board of Regents holds its regular summer meeting this week, eight new Regents are taking their seats at the table to start new terms: three serving at-large, one (re-)elected by alumni, two appointed by the Baptist General Convention of Texas, one new Faculty Regent, and one new Student Regent: Jay Brown (BBA ’95), […]

This year marks the first time that Major League Baseball has held its draft in July, coinciding with MLB All-Star game festivities — and Baylor baseball stars were well-represented in both. First, Max Muncy — the former Baylor standout who has emerged as a star with the Los Angeles Dodgers over the last four seasons […]

From its classic buildings to lush greenery, Baylor’s campus has long been known for its beauty. But the best can always get better — and a new tree planting initiative is doing just that for campus. Back in April, a Baylor Student Government bill allocated more than $30,000 for the planting of 26 trees in new […]

When Dr. Danielle Parrish worked with young women in California’s juvenile justice system as a mental health clinician in the late 1990s, she noticed significant gaps in the support the women received. Given the variety of challenges they faced, Parrish recognized a need for comprehensive support to cover a variety of issues, such as substance […]

After a year and a half of Zoom meetings, limits on in-person gatherings, tweaked traditions, etc., perhaps the highlight of the summer so far has been having Baylor’s Class of 2025 in Waco and on campus for Orientation and Line Camp! From the looks of it, they’re enjoying it, too: View this post on […]

When one thinks about the fashion industry, it’s easy to picture well-lit runways and shopping malls. But to Dr. Lorynn Divita, associate professor of human sciences and design, clothing is so much more than that. In addition to being a basic need, it’s a resource for self-expression, reflection and communication. Divita came to Baylor in […]

I don’t know about you, but the summer is really beginning to accelerate. Looking at my calendar, we are only 53 days from the first day of classes (Aug. 23) on the Baylor University campus!
