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.

Last Opportunity to Register for a New Class

Today, Tuesday January 19, and tomorrow Wednesday January 20, are the last opportunities to register for a new class that has already begun meeting. Bear Web is closed for adding and dropping classes. If you need to add or drop, go to the Registrar's office on the third floor in Robinson Tower.

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.
