Rich traditions-running the gamut from lip-syncing/dance contests to bike races where the rider changes but the bike never stops-keep students engaged in Taylor culture and provide a great break from their every day academics and residence life. Students have applied their gifts in organizing and participating in on-campus music groups, Bible studies, and themed athletic events, and much more over the years. Our student body of about 1,900 possesses a tremendous amount of talent that is channeled through various avenues across campus. Talented Students Involved in Long-Standing Tradition Upperclassmen, who live on the same residence hall floors and wings as freshmen, forge their own mentor-like relationships among their underclassmen and encourage them to attend chapel, participate in small groups, and engage in floor/wing worship nights. Students hold each other accountable to their commitment to grow in their faith. Unlike many Christian universities, Taylor doesn’t monitor chapel attendance, and yet Taylor students fill the seats. That means everyone you meet on campus-classmate and Taylor employee alike-claim Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Vibrant Community United in FaithĪs a discipleship community, where “iron sharpens iron” (Proverbs 27:17) and Christians can learn and grow together, 100% of TU students, faculty, and staff make a profession of faith before entering the University.
