We knew that the Big 12 had a chance to be improved, but no one thought it would be this good. Out of the 32 college basketball conferences in Division I, the Big 12 has the number one conference RPI thanks to impressive wins in nonconference play against the likes of Duke, Kentucky, Colorado and Michigan among others.

Students gear up to compete in the Baylor Business Sell Off this Friday, a competition that allows students to improve their selling abilities by participating in a realistic selling scenario.
Baylor looked like one of the best teams in the nation a few weeks ago. Baylor’s only loss coming into conference play was against Syracuse, a team now ranked No. 2 in the nation. Baylor is falling right out of the conversation for the NCAA Tournament and that was accentuated Tuesday night in Waco.
In an overtime thriller, two of the Big 12’s top teams, and two of the league’s best point guards faced off in another road test for the No. 12 Lady Bears.
Fifty years ago, Baylor’s campus was transformed as the Board of Trustees voted to integrate the student body. That same year, the first black student enrolled.
In discussions prior to the November 1963 vote, students expressed feelings about integrating. In a letter to the Lariat in 1957 one student wrote, “It is the place of Baylor as a Christian institution to take a lead in integration.” Another student said, “I think a Negro should stay with his people, and we should stay with ours.”
Many universities do not have a required attendance policy. Although Baylor has no university-wide attendance requirement, its policy states, “Specific policies for attendance are established by the academic units within the university.” In other words, Baylor’s attendance policy is established by different academic schools and colleges such as the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Social Work.

Baylor has announced record-breaking undergraduate and total enrollment for the third year in a row with 15,616 students, a 1.6 percent increase from last year’s 15,364.
Mary Herridge, the associate director of admissions in counseling and recruitment, said increasing the number of freshmen and incoming transfer students each year is not one of the university’s goals and the changes that have been made are not as radical as they seem.
Baylor has announced another year of record-breaking undergraduate and total enrollment with 15,616 total students.
Mary Herridge, the associate director of admissions in counseling and recruitment, said increasing the amount of freshmen and incoming transfer students each year is not one of the university’s goals and the changes that have been made are not as radical as they seem.
Students are required to write numerous research papers covering a wide array of topics, but more often than not, these papers are tossed into the recycling bin after the grade has been earned. Instead of recycling these papers or letting them stay on a hard drive, students can submit their papers for publication in The Pulse, the official undergraduate journal of Baylor.
Four years of planning for the Baylor Bound program culminated Monday as Baylor President Ken Starr and Dr. Johnette McKown, McLennan Community College President, signed the program into existence.
“Baylor’s partnership is critical to McLennan and to the people in McLennan County,” McKown said. “Our Board of Trustees and I really value our longstanding relationship and we look forward to even a closer and better relationship as we go forward. We also know that the future and quality of our community and state are dependent on just these kind of allowances and we know that our students will be successful because of that.”
President Ken Starr announced Tuesday evening the official termination of the Baylor Alumni Association’s license to use the Baylor name after the Transition Agreement vote on Saturday failed to reach the two-thirds yes vote majority.
The agreement, had it passed, would have merged the BAA with the university and allowed The Baylor Line, the official BAA magazine, to continue using the Baylor name.
The termination notice was sent to the BAA on May 31 and became effective on Sunday, according to a university wide email from Starr. The university is giving the BAA 90 days to phase out its use of the Baylor brand.
Nigerian graduate student Sunkanmi Agbomeji came to Baylor last year and was thrown into a culture that was completely new to him, but by the end of his first semester he started Global Business Connect (GBC).
Global Business Connect is a group started by a few friends who had a desire to see Baylor become more globally minded and a way to connect students to the world.
Waco is the center of the hustle and bustle of three higher education establishments: Baylor University, McLennan Community College and Texas State Technical College.

The 2012 fall semester has the largest international student population in Baylor’s history, according to the school’s Center for International Education.
Over the past few years, there has been an increase in Baylor’s appeal to students living in other parts of the world. More than 500 international students are attending Baylor this fall, and more than 300 of that number are returning students.
Welcome to Baylor, Freshmen. It’s hot in the summers and hot in the winters. At best you’ve got inside of four years here. It’s crowded sometimes and the dorms aren’t the best and you should probably wear sandals in the shower—just saying.
Baylor students from the Academy for Leader Development and Civic Engagement Fellow Program and J.H. Hines Elementary School are partnering to host the Third Annual Parent Involvement Day events Saturday and Monday.
