Online Pulse - October 2026

This Online Pulse is put together by the Graduate Student Association in collaboration with the Graduate School, SPECIFICALLY CURATED FOR OUR ONLINE STUDENTS! Each month, we inform you of upcoming events, relevant resources, and other information to help you!

We are very excited to announce this special event specifically for online and hybrid graduate students! We have partnered with Cha Community, a beloved local dumpling and boba restaurant in Waco, for an online cooking class on October 28 at 5 pm CST! Participation in this event will be restricted to online and hybrid graduate students. While the event will be free, registration will be required ahead of time and participants will be responsible for procuring their own ingredients (an ingredient list will be provided). During the virtual class, participants will learn how to fold and cook traditional dumplings.

Register here and please encourage other students in your program to do so as well! We hope many online and hybrid students take advantage of this opportunity to get a small taste of Waco from wherever you are!

If you are outside of Texas, be sure to visit Baylor Telehealth by UWill. Here, students have access to unlimited teletherapy appointments, crisis connection, on-demand medical care, and wellness programming

Baylor highly prioritizes accessible healthcare for all graduate students, regardless of where they live. Please utilize these Telehealth services!

Create an account with your Baylor email here to get care that you need.

Do you want to connect with other online and hybrid graduate students? Please join the GroupMe specifically for this community! This GroupMe is exclusively for Baylor online and hybrid graduate students to share events, resources, and connect with each other. Join here!

The Baylor University Academy for Teaching and Learning (ATL) exists to help equip educators with the resources to succeed, grow, and teach with care. While not all Baylor graduate students are or plan on becoming educators, we want any online and hybrid graduate students to know what resources ATL has to support your work as an educator. Below is a list of resources available through ATL to online and hybrid students.

Teaching Guides - These webpages take you step by step through thinking about teaching and include references and links to research on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

Mediaspace - This includes all recordings of ATL events, and there is a search bar if you're looking for a specific topic. It takes about a week for events to be edited and uploaded but if you register for an event the recording will be sent to you as soon as its ready.

Professors Talk Pedagogy Podcast - If you want a more casual introduction to pedagogy, this podcast is a great place to start! There are six seasons.

Follow them on Instagram @bayloratl ! It's a great way to hear about resources and events related to ATL 🙂
