Online CommunityAs an institution of higher education, Baylor University is a place
where serious questions are not only welcomed—they are strongly
encouraged. In classes, labs, faculty and administrative offices, and
residence halls across campus, questions of meaning, mission, truth,
faith, and, yes, love are daily posed, entertained, and answered.
Granted, some of the answers are provisional. Perhaps some questions
are ultimately unanswerable. But we still keeping seeking.
You could say that questions are Baylor’s life-blood. Without them, the
process of education would weaken and ultimately fail. The body would
die.
As an organization that embodies Baylor, the Baylor Alumni
Association is also a place of questioning and inquiry—a forum where
the voices of the Baylor family interact, sometimes blending together
and other times simply agreeing to disagree.
The place where this conversation has most often—and, perhaps, most visibly—taken place has been the Baylor Line magazine and our related online publications, primarily the monthly online newsletter Between the Lines.
Now we are expanding the scope and the tools available for
conducting that conversation. Through the creation of a more robust
online environment, featuring the addition of this blog and a message
board to our now-independently hosted website and e-mail news delivery
system, the Baylor Alumni Association is enhancing the Baylor family’s
ability to engage in a celebration of our alma mater’s achievements as
well as a exploration of the significant issues facing Baylor.
We welcome your voices and perspectives. Check back here for more
first-person accounts of what’s happening at your Baylor Alumni
Association and Baylor University. And we invite you to log on to the
message board to join in the “Baylor family conversation.”
