Baylor is commonly recognized as a Baptist university, but as the school has grown and modernized, many denominations have made their mark on it. With so many different viewpoints of Christianity surrounding students, it is important to remember the Lord’s original command for us to love each other.

Today, young audiences see heroines who are smart, strong, emotional and flawed. They are a reflection of real-life complexity. These characters remind us that strength looks different for everyone and that’s OK. They taught us to think critically, embrace individuality and stand up for what we believe in — lessons that stick with us long after the credits roll.
