“The big challenge that all of us have right now is that we’re getting inundated with information all the time,” Rachel Velasco, community engagement coordinator for KWBU, said. “How can you know who wants you to hear that message? There’s always a reason that a message is being given to you.”

Baylor FitWell launched the Punch Pass on Sept. 9 as a way to draw more students into being active through fitness classes.

“Students are clearly answering to the demand the world has in need for health professionals, and you certainly see that in the way that they gravitate towards those schools,” Brickhouse said.

“It’s such a robust, multi-pronged kind of approach to community development and helping students be successful,” Engblom said. “It helps [students] feel like Baylor is their home away from home.”

The U.S. News annual best colleges report was released last Tuesday, ranking Baylor among the best in the nation for undergraduate education and first-year experience.
