Every year, we see new generations of Bears join the Baylor Family. Some are the first in their families to attend or graduate college; others have parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents who attended our beloved university. For these students, Baylor is a tradition, a rite of passage, and a special part of their family’s history.
Graduating senior Carson Couger recently caught our eye when she shared a special set of photos celebrating the legacy of Baylor in her family:
) Baylor we are and Baylor we will always be ‘57- ‘84- ‘19Ever since she came to Baylor as a freshman, Carson has had two photos of her mother and grandmother hanging up in her room — a testament to her family’s Baylor history.
When taking her senior pictures on campus, Carson decided to recreate the photos her mother and grandmother took before her. She also showcased a Baylor charm that she wears around her neck. It was her grandmother’s, given to her during her senior year of high school by her mother. “It’s like a little connection to her, and I love it,” she says.
Looking back on her time at Baylor, Carson says her family has played a big part in her success. “My mom has been my rock while I’ve been here,” she says, “and I can’t thank her enough. I’m really happy I got to experience so many different Baylor traditions with her and hear about what they were like when she went here.”
