This workshop will encourage educators (and students) to trust the process that allows us access to knowledge that empowers us to pursue our passions. By leveraging Dr. Jay Banner’s story of how he won the Cherry Award, we will use tools from storytelling and improvisation to create a one-time workshop event. This event will share insight into the many and varied ways we can connect with our students through telling a story of how we became who we are. (We will also discuss the unsaid parts: who we were not when we started our journey.)Â

If you are interested in spending a year studying, researching, or teaching in another country while building mutual understanding, then the Fulbright awards might be a fit for you. The Fulbright is a life changing experience, and many Baylor students have been selected as winners! Any graduate student (master’s, PhD, professional degree, etc) who is a US citizen and will not be defending their dissertation this calendar year is eligible to apply. We are beginning to work with applicants now and provide extensive support throughout the application process. Please see Baylor's Fulbright site to find out more and to attend our info sessions this month. You can also watch a recorded info session for graduate students here.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent in many Christian traditions, a season of reflection and repentance leading up to Easter. On this day, believers receive ashes on their foreheads as a symbol of humility, mortality, and the need for spiritual renewal.Â
Join us for our Ash Wednesday services at Elliston Chapel at either 8:30 AM or 12 PM. Additionally, ministers from the Office of Spiritual Life will be imposing ashes at Elliston Chapel, Fountain Mall, and the Bobo Spiritual Life Center from 9 AM - 4 PM. If you are unable to attend a service, feel free to come by for the imposition of ashes.Â
