At Baylor, where students still juggle LSAT prep sessions and attend debate tournaments, the news lands differently. Anastasia Keeler, Austin senior and a political science major, doesn’t see the shift as liberation, but as a risk.

From blueprints to the rubber on the road, student government’s long-awaited promise has come to life — an airport shuttle that commutes to and from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport during the holiday seasons.

Baylor’s Homecoming Parade is one of the university’s oldest and most beloved traditions. Every year, thousands of students, alumni and families line the streets of Waco to cheer on the floats that pass by. But behind the finished products lie months of hard work and dedication that many never see.

The Memorial, which was recommended by the Commission on Historical Campus Representations in 2020, addresses Baylor’s historical relationship with slavery. It recognizes the university’s construction through enslaved labor and Judge R.E.B. Baylor’s own possession of enslaved people, while continuing to acknowledge all parts of Baylor’s story.

Even as I’ve grown further from the target reader’s age and my peers have picked up books that aren’t written in Comic Sans, I have stuck around.
