After a long day of classes, which may have included a trip to Panda Express in the SUB, the typical Baylor student may seek relief. Somewhere to find peace, reconciliation and a breath of somewhat fresh air. Every day, thousands of students across Baylor’s campus search for the perfect bathroom.

Students, parents, and young adults gathered for “Safety Starts at Home,” a hands-on safety workshop centered on disability awareness. Hosted by the Baylor Center for Disability and Flourishing from 6 to 7:30 p.m., the event offered dinner and guided participants through real-world tools they could use to make their homes safer and more accessible.

From Pigskin to the pep rally and finally the game, here is the complete guide to this year’s homecoming events, which a few extras thrown in.

“We want to know that the companies coming here have hired our students before, because I don’t want a company showing up that’s just here to check the box,” Rylander said. “I want them to come and actually hire our students. So if they have history hiring our students, they get on the list to get invited. It’s a privilege for companies to be here.”

The program, which targets high-GPA, high standardized test-scoring students, aims to inform invitees of what they can expect from their Baylor faculty and mentors.

“I’ve met some of my best friends here,” White said. “It’s a really special community where you get to do a job you love, talk about a school you love, with a bunch of friends you love.”

“We think that as a Christian research university, Baylor needs to have a presence in esports — particularly how large the community is — and it’s growing,” Cook said. “We’ve learned that parents have a lot of questions about it, so we believe we have a role in coming alongside them and exploring esports with them.”

A sea of green and gold flooded the Mark and Paula Hurd Welcome Center Friday afternoon, marking the Class of 1974 “Golden Grads” Homecoming reunion.

“We encourage all members of our community to participate in our democratic process by casting their ballot on Election Day,” Farmer-Neal said in an email. “It’s one of our most important rights and privileges as Americans.”

“We’re sort of drowned in this large space, which is a beautiful space, but it’s very overwhelming for people sometimes, especially prospective students,” Wolfe said. “But then you get to go in these columns before your tour … And now this building, as the face of Baylor, entertains you.”

The Welcome Center’s main purpose, aside from serving as an introduction to the university for prospective students, will be a new headquarters for the undergraduate admissions department, which is currently housed in the Wiethorn Undergraduate Admissions Center.
