Above the ice rink in the Dallas Galleria #BaylorLights messaging invites passersby to learn more about Baylor. On the first week of the spring semester, statues, benches, swings and walkways were donned with glowing green lights to signal a new chapter at Baylor. Billboards throughout Dallas, Houston and Waco invite prospective students, parents, alumni and friends to share the #BaylorLights momentum. Men's and women's basketball venues provided opportunities to celebrate #BaylorLights. Baylor.edu/lights features a message from TobyMac and provides prospective students with entry points to learn more about Baylor. Message kiosks in Dallas and Houston help prospective students and parents see why Baylor University is a place Where Lights Shine Bright. A #BaylorLights Dr Pepper Hour takeover was a glowtastic success with lighted cups and a fun photo op with the President. Baylor's Clifton Robinson Tower was transformed into a digital wallscape to impact busy I-35 through Waco. A similar technology presented campaign messages along Stemmons in Dallas. $(document).ready(function() $("body").append(' '); initPhotoSwipeFromDOM(".uiPhotoGallery"); );
We are called to shine before others and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are called to fight the good fight. It is with our light and good deeds we draw in others, and glorify our Father in heaven.
The little white church was warm and inviting. It was the first time I experienced any type of fellowship. The congregation consisted of the kindest people I had ever meet. True Christians that radiated light. It was the first church my daughters ever attended. Within those walls little seeds of faith were planted within them.
I am very thankful for our senior pastor and the light he continuously shines into our congregation and our surrounding community. I am thankful for the anointing God has placed on him. Our pastor believes that everyone needs Jesus, and I agree with all my heart. I am thankful that he challenges our congregation to be better than we were yesterday.
I am thankful for our praise team. They shine their lights every Sunday and Wednesday and fill the atmosphere with praise and worship music that invites the presence of God to join us. They never fail, He always shows up. It is because of them I have developed a deep love for Christian music.
I have had the opportunity to join a few small group Bible studies and life groups. Within these groups I have met women that truly inspire and encourage me to live a God first life. I see what wonderful women they are and how much they love their Father and through them His light shines bright. Hearing their testimonies of faith has been incredibly inspiring to me.
Honestly think about this. I am. Where is that beautiful light of Jesus inside of you being shined? We can become so absorbed with our own journeys that we forget God has specifically commanded us to shine our light bright, to fight the good fight, so that OTHERS may see our good deeds.
I encourage you to look around, find that lost soul near to you, and shine some light in their direction. Your light may not always be welcomed, but shine it anyways. You never know how your light may impact their lives. I honestly believe with all my heart that there is always someone in need of light, no matter what their relationship status is with God, we all need encouragement, we can all grow in faith.
I respectfully ask members of our seminary community to consider prayerfully creative ways you and your churches can help the region over the long term. We can partner with trusted pastors in the region and travel to the area to help these pastors and their churches on the ground in the work of loving our neighbors as ourselves and sharing the love of Jesus. We can join with the many faithful churches there who continue to shine the bright light of the gospel on my old Eastern Kentucky home.
In Matthew 5:14-16, each of us is called to be light in the world. Our distinctive mission as a nationally ranked research institution that is unapologetically Christian places us at a very unique crossroads where faith and learning, scholarship and teaching, knowledge and service combine to create an academic experience unlike any other.
Over the coming weeks and months, we will be sharing stories about the transformative educational experience that is a cornerstone of Baylor as part of a new marketing and communications campaign, "Where Lights Shine Bright." You will soon see lights all over campus, from our swings to our statues. You can step into the Baylor story in some BIG campus photo ops and mark your calendars for a special Dr Pepper Hour on January 23. Additional campaign details will be forthcoming on Baylor's social media channels (#BaylorLights) and at baylor.edu/lights.
As you all know well, our campus is a place where brilliance is celebrated and faith is strengthened. The University's leadership team and I are extremely blessed to be walking alongside you as we begin the spring semester. Thank you all for your many contributions to our great University and for being a light in the world.
To develop our plans for the fall, we have convened a Scenario Planning Task Force made up of representatives across the major areas of our campus. Their planning has been guided by the latest medical information, government directives, direct input from our rabbis, faculty and students, and best practices from industry and university leaders across the country. I am deeply thankful to our task force members and all who supported them for their tireless work in addressing the myriad details involved in bringing students back to campus and restarting our educational enterprise.
In concert with the recommendations from our task force, I am announcing today that our fall semester will reflect a hybrid model. It will allow many students to return in a careful way by incorporating online and virtual learning with on-campus classroom instruction. It also enables students who prefer to not be on campus to have a rich student experience by continuing their studies online and benefitting from a full range of online student services and extracurricular programs.
In bringing our students back to campus, safety is our first priority. Many aspects of campus life will change for this coming semester. Gatherings will be limited, larger courses will move completely online. Throughout campus everyone will need to adhere to our medical guidelines, including social distancing, wearing facemasks, and our testing and contact tracing policies. Due to our focus on minimizing risk, our undergraduate students will begin the first few weeks of the fall semester online and move onto the campus after the Jewish holidays. This schedule will limit the amount of back and forth travel for our students by concentrating the on-campus component of the fall semester to one consecutive segment.
Throughout our planning, we have used the analogy of a dimmer switch. Reopening our campuses will not be a simple binary, like an on/off light switch, but more like a dimmer in which we have the flexibility to scale backwards and forwards to properly respond as the health situation evolves. It is very possible that some plans could change, depending upon the progression of the virus and/or applicable state and local government guidance.
Before our semester begins, we will provide more updates reflecting our most current guidance. Please check our website, yu.edu/fall2020 for regular updates. We understand that even after reading through this guide, you might have many additional questions, so we will be posting an extensive FAQ section online as well. Additionally, we will also be holding community calls for faculty, students, staff and parents over the next couple of months.
Planning for the future during this moment has certainly been humbling. This Coronavirus has reminded us time and time again of the lessons from our Jewish tradition that we are not in full control of our circumstances. But our tradition also teaches us that we are in control of our response to our circumstances. Next semester will present significant challenges and changes. There will be some compromises and minor inconveniences--not every issue has a perfect solution. But faith and fortitude, mutual cooperation and resilience are essential life lessons that are accentuated during this period. And if we all commit to respond with graciousness, kindness, and love, we can transform new campus realities into profound life lessons for our future.
Deeply rooted in our Jewish values and forward focused in preparing for the careers and competencies of the future, we journey together with you, our Yeshiva University community, through these uncharted waters. Next year will be a formative year in the lives of our students, and together we will rise to the moment so that our students will emerge stronger and better prepared to be leaders of the world of tomorrow.
Lights in the city might be more than pretty, pretty
That freaky shine might be more than meets the eye
Anytime you see that sparkle in the dark you might look deeper, deeper
It might be more than simply theatre
And you, beloved, are the light of the world. A city built on a hilltop cannot be hidden. Similarly it would be silly to light a lamp and then hide it under a bowl. When someone lights a lamp, she puts it on a table or a desk or a chair, and the light illumines the entire house. You are like that illuminating light. Let your light shine everywhere you go, that you may illumine creation, so men and women everywhere may see your good actions, may see creation at its fullest, may see your devotion to Me, and may turn and praise your Father in heaven because of it.
