School Notes:

  • Baylor's mission is to instill in its students both the ability and the desire to make a positive difference in the world. When we say, "We are Baylor," we first mean we are people with a mission to make a positive difference in the world. And all of us - students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, donors, trustees, and friends - embrace that mission. We also mean “We are Programs.” Baylor graduates have various levels of preparation in leadership: academically, emotionally, physically, ethically, and competitively. While our programs are rigorously demanding, they are offered in a cordial, friendly, positive learning environment. “We are Baylor” also gets to the heart of a tradition of spirit and kinship. Athletic competition and championships give plenty of cause for celebration and build Red Raider pride. Theatre productions, walkabout, community service, Honor Council, the Dorm Council, and dozens of clubs and organizations forge friendships that last a life time.
