On May 2, 2025, Version2.ai announced in a LinkedIn post that it had partnered with Baylor to develop and implement a Virtual Engagement Officer (VEO) called Faith. The artificial intelligence agent curates donor interactions and engages them with the university.
The Texas Collection houses historical documents, books and other materials that tell the story of Texas and its people. In 1923, Dr. Kenneth Hazen Aynesword and other Baylor graduates donated volumes on Texas history to the university. Now, The Texas Collection is one of the largest institutions in the world dedicated to historical documents related to Texas history.
In his life, Carlos Colón has been many things: a refugee, a musician, a Catholic, a Baptist and a Catholic again, to name a few. He has seen more hurt than most, but he’s passionately faithful. When he recounts some of his experiences, he’s drawn back to something his pastor showed him as a boy while growing up in El Salvador.
In college, students strive to build friendships that are as close as family. But at Baylor, family can be closer than you think. For three students, life changed overnight when they met on campus and discovered they were long-lost cousins after tracing their family lineage back to the Ghanaian Ewe tribe.
Baylor Buddies is a mentorship program that connects student volunteers with at-risk elementary, middle and high school students in the Waco community. The volunteers spend at least an hour a week with their buddy during the school day in a fun way, whether it be making crafts, playing games or simply talking.

ARTS & LIFE
In my many years of consuming media, I’ve fallen victim to romanticized ideals numerous times, but they have also made me a self-proclaimed expert on love in fiction. So I have made the ultimate list of the most legendary love stories.
If the majority of your principles as a voter align more closely with one side or the other, failing to vote with that party is not only throwing away one of our most important rights as Americans, but it is also helping the people you disagree with win.
As we near the end of the year and move out of or into a new place, I wanted to share a reminder that we don’t need to buy everything new. It’s okay to not have all the latest and greatest things. Keeping up with the Joneses is all fun and games until it runs you into the ground.
For some students, figuring it out later could mean taking an interesting class or switching their majors a few times. For others, it means risking financial aid, wasting time or choosing between passion and stability. These are not the same situation.
Nothing feels normal anymore. There is an underlying sexualization of everything, even though it is completely unnecessary. That’s the problem — people should be able to scroll through social media without suggestive content being forced on them.
Excuses like “this person did this” or “I should’ve been different because …” do not make the world better. Everyone wants to sit atop a pedestal, but wants to be placed there rather than working to earn it.
Before finals start, a good number of classes assign group projects that most students like me don’t enjoy. I can’t wait to be done with group projects. If I could remove one thing from my coursework, it would be this.
