The Baylor basketball team ended their weekend in Fort Hood with a redeployment ceremony where soldiers returned home from Afghanistan and were reunited with their families.
“Words cannot describe the emotion, especially for those of us that have kids and thinking about not seeing your family and kids for a year. That’ll get anyone teary-eyed,” head coach Scott Drew said. “They put on a great show and you can tell how much it touched these guys.”

A memorial will be held at 4:30 p.m Thursday for Dr. Susan Colón, who passed away this summer after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma last year.

The memorial will take place in the Alexander Reading Room of Alexander Residence Hall.

At 7:30 p.m. Friday, Common Grounds welcomes back Sondre Lerche, a Norwegian singer-songwriter whose talents range from a “jazz band leader, a punk howler, a would-be Springsteen [and] a transatlantic teen idol.”

“To say I’m formally trained is giving me more credit,” Lerche said in a biography available via his official website. “I still to this day cannot read music.”
