Passion Meets Purpose
Co-Curricular involvement isn’t just encouraged at Baylor — it’s essential to embracing all that the Baylor experience has to offer. With more than 430 student organizations, and new ones added every year, students enhance their academic pursuits through special interest groups that offer leadership roles, organizational planning experience and interpersonal relationship skills that translate to real-world applications and often help lead to post-graduate opportunities. From Student Foundation, which connects students and alumni and raises scholarship funds, to Creative Writing Club, where members can workshop their writing and receive peer feedback, there truly is something to challenge and grow each Baylor student into a better understanding of their personal goals and purpose.
