Baylor alumni and current students make regular pilgrimages there, […]
By Lisa Asher The June issue of the Baylor Alumni Association’s e-mail newsletter was sent this week, which means that I spent a lot of my time over the last few days online. As editor of Between the Lines, I write the newsletter text, the Family Album section, and usually a story or two each
By Claire Moncla, Student Intern, Baylor Line My grandfather has terminal cancer and may not last through this week.
