Don't be the mad bear who registers for an inappropriate class and then finds that it is a wasted class because it doesn't advance his or her degree.

BU1000 - All there is to know about Baylor

Welcome New Transfer students. You know about BU1000 because you have registered for Chapel and see the additional BU1000 meeting also attached to your schedule. This 6-week small group is designed to help you transition into the Baylor culture with as little disruption to your life as possible. It will kick off during Welcome Week with a dinner for all new transfers. Not only will you get a free meal, but you will have the opportunity to meet lots of Baylor resource staff and your BU1000 leader. As we plan for that event, you can help by sending in questions about how Baylor works. Just reply to this post with your own comment and we will get answers for you and incorporate this information into the BU1000 curriculum. If you are confused and wondering, you can bet others are as well.

New Prexy Officially Welcomed by the NoZe Brotherhood



Were you surprised when Baylor's newest president donned a pair of glasses with a big nose? The NoZe Brotherhood is one of Baylor's oldest traditions. You should read about it so that, if confronted with their antics on campus, you are not unduly alarmed. As you acclimate yourself to the university, you owe it to yourself to check out some of the 250 chartered campus organizations. The best way to start feeling at home in the Baylor family is to find a group of kindred spirits and join in their activities. By the way, did you know there is a Kayak Polo club?

Transfer Students at Baylor Stand Out


Sometimes transfers have a hard time finding a place in a new environment. Athletes who transfer have a particularly tough time in one respect; they are confined to the bench for a year. You can see one tonight as the Baylor Bears basketball team plays the University of Kansas. The game is in Kansas, but you can probably find a TV or even online streaming of the game to see fellow transfer Ekpe Udoh, debuting this year after sitting out during the last season. He's already made a name for himself and for Baylor, and conference games have only just begun. You will have to wait until Saturday to hear how Morghan Medlock (pictured), a McDonald's All American and 2008-09 transfer, steps up for the Lady Bears as they play Missouri on the road.

If you want to see them in action, the men play UMass on Saturday and the ladies will host Texas A&M next Wednedsay. To get up close and personal, join the Bear Pit or Mulkey's Mob and sit right down on the floor.

The Lady Bears have several other transfers on the team as well. See if you can discover them.

Welcome (Back) Transfers

If you were a new transfer last semester, you may have experienced such a successful fall that you feel entirely at home and no longer different from any other Baylor Bear. (Of course, if that's the case, you are probably not reading this!!) On the other hand, you may always identify yourself as a transfer. And that's not a bad thing. It makes you fairly unique on this campus. A special welcome is in order for new transfers. This blog is a work in progress, having been created only 5 short months ago. It is our intention that it be a place where readers can find out need-to-know information about Baylor, as well as a place to explore distinctive Baylor sights and sounds. Here's one of the newest things: Baylor Transfer council is now on Facebook. Check it out.
