President Livingstone is a dynamic leader both here at Baylor, and in the Big12 conference; a Christian, a mother, a daughter, a strong advocate for women in sports, and is proud to be Baylor University’s 15th President.

🔺 The BIG Game. For BU football, Sunday’s Big Game is no match for the experience some of the Bears had this past weekend.

Members of the football program spent time at No Limitations, a local nonprofit based in Waco that provides opportunities for the special needs and disabled communities in Central TX to gather & enjoy adaptive sports, sensor-friendly activities, and various other social events.

The Bears played football, danced, cheered and celebrated these incredibly special individuals and their families.

🔺 Welcome To The Fam. Two more defensive studs inked their NLIs this week as the Baylor football program put the finishing touches on a big time signing day period ahead of the 2024 season.

BU added the best high school prospect in Mississippi, four-star defensive lineman Alex Foster, and a three-star safety from Missouri City, Texas, Josh Lair, to finalize its 24-member incoming class for next fall.

🔺 Speed Bump. Sometimes, you run into some speed bumps on the road.

The 18th-ranked Baylor women’s team couldn’t overcome a hot start by BYU as the Bears dropped a tough 78-66 decision to the Cougars on Wednesday night.

Sophomore forward Darianna Littlepage-Buggs had a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds, while Yaya Felder and Jana Van Gytenbeek scored 15 and 10 points, respectively, off the bench.
