Transfer Resources at Baylor

Welcome new Baylor students who are transferring from another college or university! There are about 400 of you beginning classes this fall. I'm sure you want to meet other Baylor students who have been here for awhile; that's a great way to get involved in Baylor activities. However, you will probably want to find other new transfers, as well. Having someone who shares your unique perspective to explore all the possibilities that exist at a new school is often helpful and comforting.

Welcome Week has some great transfer connection events. Don't miss the President's Picnic at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 20 at Burleson Quadrangle. A long-time Baylor tradition, you will meet Dr. David Garland (Baylor's interim president); at the 8 p.m., walk across the street to the Bobo Spiritual Life Center for the Transfer Connection. There you will find out the time and place for the small group meeting to precede the Welcome Week Convocation Friday morning. At 7 p.m. on Friday you can meet Baylor faculty and staff at a dinner hosted in your honor in the Stone Room of the Ferrell Center. It will end in time for you to make the Spirit Rally, also held in Ferrell Center.

Follow this blog to find out what's happening at Baylor and in the Waco community. Feel free to leave your comments as you experience these events and other activities. Words of advice for your fellow transfers will be greatly appreciated.
