This week kicked off Baylor’s annual Missions Week, and Barfield Drawing Room hummed with the chatter of community Tuesday night. The event, which included free dinner and conversations with global organizations was more than a convenient meal — it was about connection. Staff of global and local mission organizations met face-to-face with students who are eager to learn how they could serve.
“What excites me is the opportunity to help build something that lasts,” Craven said. “We’re not just starting a degree. We’re creating a program that could change how students see engineering and how engineering serves people.”
Canvas is back up and running after an outage that lasted over 12 hours and left students unable to complete assignments or take exams.
Amid banners, flags and music, one element stood out: the growing presence of young people seeking to take part in shaping the nation’s future and the desire of the older generations for the younger ones to get involved.
Clad in colonial getup, blowup pig costumes and a sea of yellow, the peaceful protest in the Capitol’s backyard included a march down Pennsylvania Avenue, a musical guest and a range of notable guests — including Bill Nye the Science Guy.

It becomes closer to idol worship than advocacy.
Whenever I meet a new friend, one of my first questions is what their favorite music artist is or what genre of music they like best. I used to think these questions gave me an idea of who they are, but then I realized that music taste does not reflect someone’s personality.
In a society that promotes overnight trends, cancel culture and gossip, it’s time to stop scrolling and start thinking for yourself.
How on earth does a 43-year-old man with a mullet and Louisiana drawl get a man like Bernie Sanders to call him “profound” on the online equivalent of a bachelor pad that’s sponsored by a men’s razor called “The Lawn Mower?” Was this just a one-time comment made by Von that caught the senator by surprise, or is Theo Von a legitimate journalist capable of generating relevant, thought-provoking and engaging discussion?
