A Little About Tom At Baylor (me)...
Me and the Baylor Line. This selfie is the Baylor equivalent of taking a selfie in front of the bulls that run through the streets in Spain. Very dangerous. But at least I won't get skin cancer on my head thanks to the uber stylish BU bucket hat!
My name is Tom Barnard, and I have been working in higher education marketing communications professionally for the past two decades.
I began work at Baylor at the start of October, 2016, and immediately fell in love with the students, the campus, and the amazing professionals I have the opportunity to work beside. My job here at Baylor is a bit different from the positions I have held in the past. The work I do for Baylor is still marketing communications work, but my target audience is the current student body (vs. an external audience of prospective students or alumni at my previous institution.) One thing that my work here does not include is as much photography. I've had a camera in my hands from age 10, when my dad bought me my first SLR. Once I arrived at Baylor, I was shooting pictures all over campus and posting a ton to my personal Instagram account...to mixed response from a few family members who were ready to see other aspects of my life again. It was my dad who recommended that I start another Instagram account for posting all my Baylor content. TomAtBaylor was born.
I love connecting with our students and getting private messages and questions from new students in my DMs. I enjoy following many of our students back and seeing Baylor from their eyes.
This website is mostly just a big business card. Instagram's "About" on the profile is pretty small. I've also started a YouTube channel as a place to stick longer form video content. As always, if you ever have questions, reach out. I love hearing from folks and chatting up the best lil ol university in the world. Sic'em Bears!
