May is always a little bittersweet across the Baylor campus as we say goodbye to the graduating seniors while preparing to welcome freshmen and transfers in the summer and fall. But in celebration of the graduating class of 2026, a video lookback was created for our Line to Legacy event, and I thought you might enjoy seeing the traditions and hearing the stories that transformed the lives of our more than 3,100 new Baylor Alumni.

Another spring semester is upon us, and there is great anticipation across the Baylor University campus. Faculty and staff have returned from Christmas break and students begin classes next week. But even as we embark on another year, I am reminded of how faithful the Lord was to us last fall.

The beginning of the academic year is always rejuvenating. There are students everywhere, and each one is brimming with promise. Faculty and staff have a renewed energy and commitment to helping each student reach his or her full potential.

The start of an academic year is always full of promise. We are only a few weeks into the semester at Baylor, and I am already thankful for so much.

The World Needs a Baylor. We need a seat at the table to engage scholars and ministers, to cultivate beauty and creativity, to demonstrate the richness of Christian life and to pursue academic excellence.
