A lot of us may embrace and engage in the large prayer tent on Fountain Mall and various conversations surrounding the three-day Christianpalooza, also known as FM72.

All around campus, Baylor has wonderful shows to offer. Whether they’re from the theater department or student organizations, each one is distinct, and students should take advantage of the opportunity to go see them.
