For May 2026 Baylor graduate Alan Koroluk, Mexico has always been more than a destination. It is the country where he was born, the home he left at 7 years old, and a place he has not returned to since. Through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, he now has the opportunity to return. “I wanted
In the spring of her freshman year, Madi Snow-Gould went through the application process to become a community leader — an upperclassman living in the dorms and leading younger students. When she was placed at University Parks, an apartment complex with no elevator, Snow-Gould, who has a physical disability, knew she’d need accommodation. Snow-Gould said

It was something he grew up with — passed down through generations, expressed differently on either side of his family, and eventually carried onto his canvases and murals. “I just always loved art,” Kegerreis said. “I was one of the kids that never

Accounting and management information systems student Charlotte Tran hadn’t even begun classes pertaining to her major — much less the internship she was interviewing for — when the Big Four accounting firms came recruiting summer interns this spring. But the rising sophomore wasn’t coming unprepared. Instead, she was ultimately preparing for an internship experience she
Dr. Sarah Walden never planned on being a professor. In fact, she considered a career in the medical field, marketing, or law, before she ultimately landed on academia. “My parents were both professors and I was just kind of rebellious in the way that I just was not going to do what my parents did,”
Throughout her undergraduate years at Morehead State University, Dr. Lenore Wright repeatedly found herself asking one question: “Where are the women?” She was the only female philosophy major, had no female philosophy professors, and read works almost exclusively by male philosophers. “It was just me and the guys, all the time, in every class, and
The seed of the Heart of Texas Network for Immigrant Rights (HOTNIR) was planted on the steps of Seventh & James Baptist Church as co-founders Dr. Blake Burleson and Dr. Mark Brickhouse ran into each other as they exited the Sunday service. “We talked a little bit that day about concern for our undocumented neighbors
