Job searching can be tedious and frustrating, but Baylor provides an opportunity for students to meet potential employers at a single event.
The Baylor Office of Career and Professional Development is hosting a career fair for graduating students seeking full-time employment and younger students seeking internship opportunities in various industries. The career fair this year will be bigger than it has ever been and is moving off campus.
Nina Davuluri, Miss New York, made history when she was crowned Miss America. She is the first Miss America to be of Indian decent and, unfortunately, this brought out the worst qualities in many Americans: racism and ignorance.
This backlash mimics the 1983 crowning of Vanessa Williams, the first African-American Miss America, and the 1945 crowning of Bess Myerson, the first Jewish Miss America.
This week, Britain announced that it would soon be privatizing its postal service, the Royal Mail. Estimated to be worth nearly 3 billion pounds ($4.8 billion dollars), the Royal Mail will begin selling shares of stock to potential investors sometime in the next few weeks.
While it remains to be seen whether or not this is a smart move for Britain, the United States should think twice before following its lead.
By Abigail Loop Reporter The Center of International Education at Baylor is giving international students the opportunity to further broaden their knowledge of Texas by taking a one day tour of Houston. International students who attend will take a bus to Houston on Saturday and will go to the NASA Space Center, Kemah Boardwalk and explore downtown. Melanie Smith, International Student Relations Coordinator, said the trip is a great way for international students to become more acquainted with American culture, discover career options at NASA, and connect with other international students. “The tour of NASA is amazing for our international…
The Baylor Bears defeated the University of Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks 70-7 on Saturday night at Floyd Casey Stadium.
“We’ve had three home games,” Baylor head coach Art Briles said. “We’ve taken advantage of being home and we’ve got good people. We have a good football team. If you combine those factors it’s people making plays on both sides of the ball. We’ve got to keep playing at a high rate and win. That’s the bottom line.”
After defeating ULM narrowly last season in Monroe 47-42, the Bears left no doubt against the Warhawks this season by overwhelming the opponent both offensively and defensively.
The Baylor Bears are leading University of Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks 49-7 at the half at Floyd Casey Stadium.
After the Baylor defense stifled the ULM offense on fourth down, the Bears offense took over with the ball with 10:38 to play in the first quarter.
21 seconds later, the Bears were in the end zone with a three play, 82-yard drive accentuated by junior receiver Antwan Goodley’s 63-yard touchdown catch from senior quarterback Bryce Petty.
The past several hours have seen several stalled vehicles and collisions as drivers face the sudden downpour.
Waco Police Department spokesman Sgt. Patrick Swanton said several officers and wreckers were working early this morning to rescue drivers stuck under the freeway near University Parks Drive and Interstate 35.
Baylor Family weekend events have changed locations due to the rain, according to Baylor NewsFlash. These events include the Dessert Party, which will start at 7:30 p.m. and has been moved to the Barfield Drawing Room of the Bill Daniel Student Center. The Parent- Faculty Coffee at 9:30 a.m. Saturday has been moved to the second and third floors in the SUB. To see the full list of Family Weekend events, click here.
The Baylor Alumni Network, the Baylor “B” Association and Baylor Athletics will honor decades of football at the Floyd Casey Stadium as the Bears’ time in the stadium nears an end.
“We wanted to honor the teams and players that have come before,” said Doug Fertsch, director of Baylor Sports Network. Fertsch said the number of home games at Floyd Casey is representative of the number of decades Baylor has played at the stadium.
No. 20 Baylor football hosts its final non-conference game of the year against a familiar opponent in the University of Louisiana at Monroe at 3 p.m. at Floyd Casey Stadium Saturday. The Bears look to post a more impressive showing against ULM after squeaking out a 47-42 shootout win last season. Even in the hostile setting of Monroe, the Baylor win was a little too close for comfort.
Baylor comes into the game against ULM on a hot streak. The Bears have not lost a game since Nov. 10, 2012, against Oklahoma. Since that game, the Bears have won six straight games.
Kansas (1-1) vs. Louisiana Tech (1-2)
So far this season, the Kansas Jayhawks have been decidedly poor. After taking care of business against a bad South Dakota team, Kansas was soundly defeated by Rice a week later. While Rice is not a bad team, it is not the type of team that should be beating Big 12 opponents. Kansas has struggled mightily throwing the ball with 140.0 passing yards a game.
While there’s plenty to see around Baylor’s property, attractions await in the city that holds its campus. From local eats to stadium seats, the city of Waco is filled with enough Texan culture and history to please any visitor.
For Family Weekend, The Lariat has compiled a list of interesting things for visiting families to do and see around the city while enjoying the company of their Baylor Bear.
Nina Davuluri isn’t the first Miss America of color. She’s not even the first Asian-American to wear the crown. But her victory has clearly struck a chord in some quarters.
At a news conference held after her name was announced Sunday night, the first question was about social media users apparently upset that someone of Indian heritage had won. Some tweets called her Arab and a terrorist.
The “In Memoriam” segment at this year’s Emmys will be extended, with several actors and a producer receiving special recognition.
Among those to be spotlighted are James Gandolfini, whose “Sopranos” costar Edie Falco will speak; “Glee” star Cory Monteith will be paid tribute by costar Jane Lynch; Robin Williams will remember his “Mork and Mindy” friend Jonathan Winters; Rob Reiner will say some words about his “All in the Family” mother-in-law Jean Stapleton; and Michael J. Fox will pay tribute to “Family Ties” producer Gary David Goldberg.
efore celebrating the Emmys, Kerry Washington and other TV insiders took a moment to toast diversity.
Washington was among the honorees at a pre-Emmy reception hosted Tuesday night by the television academy and the SAG-AFTRA actors union. The academy’s headquarters in North Hollywood were transformed into a jetsetting soiree complete with 1960s-era furniture and mid-century modern wall sculptures.
Time: 6:30 p.m., 9:30 p.m. Day: September 20, 2013 Place: Waco Hall Admission: $14 general admission, $10 students
Tucked away in a small building off Interstate-35 in Waco is Ramona’s Parrots: a small, locally owned pet store that offers a unique and specific service to its customers. As the name suggests, the store is in fact owned and operated by a woman named Ramona Parker, and yes, she loves parrots.
“Why did I decide to open a parrot store?” Parker said. “A long time ago, I got an African Gray parrot and I fell in love with him. I loved him so much that I decided this is what I want to do.”
It’s not all “song and dance” for Student Productions’ After Dark variety show coming today to Family Weekend.
Cheryl Mathis, assistant director of Campus Programs, said After Dark will feature numerous acts with diversity and originality.
Lemur watching and wakeboarding await students less than 20 minutes away from campus at the BSR Cable Park.
The BSR Cable Park opened last summer and is part of the growing Barefoot Ski Ranch. The owner, Stuart Parsons, built the place out of his passion for water sports. Prior to opening the park, he was a competitive barefoot water-skier for 20 years.
Sept. 26 University Baptist Church Formerly The David Crowder Band, The Digital Age will perform songs from its debut album, “Evening:Morning,” released on Aug. 13. Also featuring Bellarive.
Sept. 25-29 Jones Theatre The smash-hit Broadway musical comes to campus in the theater department’s rendition of a ditsy sorority girl turned Harvard grad.
Through Nov. 14 Martin Museum of Art Hooper-Shaefer Fine Arts Center “Ansel Adams: Distance and Detail” exhibition will display iconic black and white photography.
A collective sigh of contempt among horror enthusiasts is the best mental picture to describe this new scare flick. Another notch in the proverbial bedpost of horror flicks, “Insidious Chapter 2” was essentially nothing more than a collection of the first film’s outtakes and deleted scenes that never made it into the movie.
The film picks back up with the Lambert family and their life post-possession, or so they think. Delving into the father’s forgotten past, the film reveals that everyone must deal with their own demons, no matter how delightfully creepy.
The Dallas Cowboys still see DeMarco Murray as the back who altered the future of their running game with a record-setting day against St. Louis two years ago.
They don’t see him as a back who hasn’t had a 100-yard game in more than a year and can’t seem to invigorate a rushing attack probably best described as stale.
Baylor volleyball is in Houston for this weekend’s Flo Hyman Collegiate Cup at the University of Houston. The Bears come into this tournament after their first road win of the season against Rice University on Wednesday night.
Baylor volleyball sits with a record of 5-7 heading into the weekend. Zoe Adom has led the Bears with 144 kills and 3.35 kills per set average. Sophomore outside hitter Thea Munch-Soegaard has contributed with 2.65 kills per set and 2.58 digs per set. Sophomore setter Amy Rosenbaum has 10.00 sets per set average.
It’s another battle for No. 9 Baylor soccer versus North Texas at 7 p.m. today and Boise State at 1 p.m. Sunday.
“North Texas is extremely athletic,” Baylor co-head coach Marci Jobson said. “They’re fighters, and they’re very good at their style of play, which is similar to ours. They’re on kind of a hot roll this year. This is probably the toughest North Texas team I’ve seen, so it’s going to be a really good game.”
The Houston Texans have grown accustomed to watching star receiver Andre Johnson make spectacular grabs.
Just two games into his NFL career, the Texans are already beginning to expect equally dazzling catches from DeAndre Hopkins.
“I always read Psalms 18 before I go out and race,” junior cross country runner Rachel Johnson said. “It talks about God giving us strength. It’s a really good thing to read, I think, just to get focused and just see that I should be running for God and not myself.”
Call it superstition, luck or simply faith, Johnson’s ritual of preparing for a meet has worked.
