From the “Meet the Faculty” Welcome Hour on Friday through the last note of “That Good Old Baylor Line” after football’s victory Saturday night, Family Weekend 2024 was a whirlwind of green and gold.
For those who couldn’t make it (or those who just want to relive it), here’s a look back at some of the highlights:
First up, the “Meet the Faculty” and Welcome Hour brought together parents and professors over Dr Pepper floats at the Hurd Welcome Center:
