“We get asked to do a lot of things and partner with a lot of organizations,” Mullins said. “So I think anytime that we can make Baylor look good, which I think we do, I think that’s a good thing.”
According to Allergy Insider, anything over 90 grains per cubic meter is considered high. Allergy and Asthma Care of Waco tracks the pollen count in the area, and the latest measurement was 436 grains per cubic meter for trees. With this high pollen count, students struggle to fight against the symptoms of allergies.
Cowan’s deep dive into the chastity-crazed, right-wing militant leaders of Brazil came from the desire to learn how two teenage students kissing on a bus could be seen as the essence of communism — something a Brazilian official actually said after being on that bus, according to Cowan. Analyzing the origin and effect of this reasoning is the larger point of the “Mobilizing Morality” series.
Last week, Baylor’s International Student and Scholar Services sent an email travel advisory to all international students across campus, expressing concern for students going back home this summer due to possible complications in returning to the U.S. come August.
“They are constantly in this cycle of violence,” Seabolt said. “Our job is trying to make them understand, trying to educate them and trying to help them break that cycle.”

Instead, it functioned as a faith-centered call to action, rooted in Christian teaching and expressed through civic engagement.

ARTS & LIFE
There are certain “cult classic” movies everyone watches. Yet there are movies that hardly get the same spotlight, despite being just as good. These movies stand out and make an impression despite not having a huge fanbase.
Upperclassmen, remember that you were freshmen not too long ago. The transition to college can be overwhelming, so remember to give freshmen grace and patience. When it takes a little longer to get places because freshmen are still getting used to Waco roads, or when your favorite place is incredibly busy because the new class just discovered it, remember what it felt like to adjust to that new environment and stage of life.
On the first day of class, I was ecstatic to finally put the iPad to use. Thanks to the tools available with the Apple Pencil, I made color-coded notes for all of my classes with perfectly straight lines and dashes. The only issue I ran into was professor preference. Many professors, including half of mine this semester, have a strict no-technology policy — which includes taking handwritten notes on an iPad.
Although the school year has just begun, you might already be eagerly anticipating making your summer plans — a summer job, a vacation, studying abroad or getting some classes out of the way. With so many options, I want to offer a suggestion: Consider being a camp counselor.
With entry into university life comes plenty of new privileges for students, and the ability to vote is among them. For many Baylor undergraduates, the 2024 presidential election will be the first opportunity to put this power into play. However, what many students don’t realize is the buildup to the Nov. 5 Election Day has already started, and their chance to take action begins now.
The crackle and pop heard from a turntable is what makes it so special. There are more convenient and reliable ways to play music, but vinyl delivers music with the charm of a live show and the emotion of slow-dancing in the kitchen.
Why is a lack of personal finance skills such a common theme among college students? One of my co-workers is $800 in credit card debt. I have overheard two of my classmates joke about how they had less than $5 in their checking accounts. Even my 22-year-old brother didn’t know how to make or maintain a budget until just a few months ago, despite living independently. College-aged students need to prioritize personal finance to establish foundational financial literacy skills that can set them up for a successful future post-graduation.
