More uncertainty looms over international students after a federal judge in Massachusetts ordered the postponement of the “Duration of Status” (D/S) rule change Sept. 14, leaving the policy without a new start date. The Baylor ISSS Office issued a statement on the matter via email to all international students Sept. 15, the day the rule change was originally set to take effect.
With changing immigration policies and growing uncertainty over work authorization for foreign nationals, one student organization on campus hopes to help pre-health international students gain a competitive edge.
As NASA’s newest flagship space telescope begins its mission millions of miles above Earth, a Baylor professor and his students will have a hand in deciphering the data it sends back.

The debate spans as far back as the Hawaiian pizza was created, but I am here to finally settle it: Pineapple is a fantastic pizza topping. Backed by science and history, I prove and solidify pineapple’s place in the pizza kitchen.
