International students got a taste of Texas Tuesday at a welcome dinner.

Over 175 international students from all over the world sat down to a Western themed dinner Tuesday in the Cashion Banquet room. Cow noises played on a CD player in the doorway, a giant light up cowboy boot stood in the corner, and Texas Barbecue was served for dinner.

Vice President Dr. Karla Leeper welcomed the new students to Baylor on Judge Ken Starr’s behalf.

David Gettis, Kendall Wright, Josh Gordon and Terrance Williams are wide receivers from Baylor who have been drafted since the Briles era began.
