The Waco-McLennan County Public Health District has notified Baylor University about an active case of tuberculosis (TB) identified in the greater community. The impacted individual has not been on the Waco campus for several weeks and is currently positively responding to treatment. Be assured there is no ongoing risk of exposure to the Baylor community, according to Waco Public Health officials.

It’s hard to believe, but this was move-in No. 10 for the First Gent and me. Even in the Texas heat, I never tire of this beautiful expression of who we are as a Baylor Family. We care deeply for each other, we bear one another’s burdens (in this case, boxes and belongings!) and we share in the joy of new beginnings.

Allow me to be among the first to congratulate the members of Baylor’s summer graduating class, which includes more than 700 students. This Saturday morning, 600 undergraduates, master’s and professional doctorate candidates will receive their diplomas, and in the afternoon, we will confer more than 100 research doctorates. Times and additional information for both ceremonies at the Ferrell Center can be found on the Commencement website.

One of Nashville’s brightest rising stars Carter Faith will headline a free concert at Howdy at the Hurd, hosted by Pi Beta Phi & Baylor University, on Friday, Sept. 25.
