year's Bearathon attracted more than 500
runners, the most in its six-year history.
"StuFu is a unique group of individuals
who all serve each other, the Baylor
campus and most importantly the Lord. It
is a heart filled commitment to share your
love of helping people and making Baylor a
better place," Key said.

Revelation at the beginning of the year. It's when we are notified that we have gotten into Student Foundation and it's always a special time.
It's so much fun meeting so many people from different walks of life and knowing that the upcoming year you are going to make so many
great friendships out of the crowd," Lubbock senior Brittany Heath said.

Upperclassmen work for
past, present and future
Every Baylor student has seen them around campus. Whether they are
leading tours, setting up for events, riding bicycles in the homecoming parade,
awarding students scholarships or selling Baylor Pride T-shirts, their green-
and-white-striped rugby jerseys stand out in a crowd. Student Foundation
also stands out as an organization. This group of 100 juniors and seniors is
divided into three committees: financial affairs, campus promotions and
student recruitment.
Financial affairs raises money for student scholarships. Through events and
donations, Student Foundation has helped more than 5,000 students afford a
college education in the 39 years since it was founded.
Campus promotions focuses on events the organization is known for.
The committee keeps students informed of Student Foundation events by
maintaining a billboard, posting fliers and chalking around campus. Freshman
Follies, held at Bear Park, united freshman in a mass food fight on Oct. 3. Their
largest event, however, was Bearathon. The weekend began with a pasta
dinner for the runners the evening before the race. Student Foundation
members worked through the night posting road markers and met at 5
a.m. to construct a balloon arch marking the starting line. The certified
half-marathon started at 8 a.m. in Fountain Mall on campus, eventually
leading runners through Cameron Park and back to Fountain Mall. This
13.1-mile run drew more than 500 participants and raised $17,000
toward endowed scholarships.
Student recruitment travels to college fairs, senior receptions
and high schools to represent Baylor to potential students.
This committee is also responsible for hosting Invitation to
Excellence, a special weekend program for National Merit
semi-finalists to visit the university, in addition to hosting Sic
'Em days and premiers throughout the year.
When asked why they are involved in Student Foundation,
nearly every member said it was reciprocation for all they had
been given.
"I wanted to give back to the university. Student
Foundation works with current students, alumni and
potential students," Nick Wigle, a San Antonio senior,
said.
Though it is his first year in the organization, Spring
junior Jason Dagley echoed this sentiment.
"We learn so much through Student Foundation:
planning, coordinating, time management. Every
member does it because of a passion for the university.
It's what we do. We love it," Dagley said.
