Baylor Alumni

Let the quiet, sunny days begin! ☀🐻

So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
- 1 Corinthians 3:7

For Greg Davis (BBA ’92), Baylor helped shape both how he sees the world and how he tells its stories. 💚

A proud fourth-generation Bear, Baylor gave him more than a business education. Through traditions like Sing, friendships in ATO, and classes like Ethics in Business, he built a foundation rooted in integrity, curiosity, and human connection — values that still guide his life and photography.

After leaving a corporate career in 2004, Greg picked up a camera and began traveling the world, capturing moments of humanity, resilience, and cultural connection. His work has been featured in more than 25 solo exhibitions and is represented in the National Geographic Image Collection.

That same sense of connection inspired El Espíritu del Oso, a hand-carved copal wood sculpture honoring four generations of Baylor Bears. Conceived by Greg and brought to life by Jacobo Ángeles Ojeda (with María Ángeles), the piece now resides at Art Center Waco — thanks to the support of his Baylor ATO brothers who helped make its permanent installation possible.

Back in Waco for the opening of Urban Stories—an exhibition featuring work he selected as juror—Greg shared what he seeks through his lens: soul. See the exhibition at Art Center Waco through June 27.

Sic 'Em, Greg! 🐻✨

Nothing better than these campus views. 👋🐻

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
- Ephesians 2:8-9

For Mike Van Hoozer (BBA ’88), one decision to attend Baylor set into motion generations of Baylor memories, friendships, and faith-filled purpose. 💚

Arriving from Memphis, Mike quickly found community through fraternity life, intramurals (contributing to a Sigma Chi basketball championship win), and the spiritual mentorship of Louie and Shelley Giglio, whose Bible study would eventually grow into the Passion movement. Baylor became the place where he learned that faith wasn’t separate from life and work, but woven through all of it.

After graduating from Hankamer, Mike met Baylor Board of Regents Chair Bill Mearse at a recruiting event, a connection that led him to begin his career at Accenture. Years later, he would watch his oldest son, Drew, follow in those same footsteps.

One by one, all five Van Hoozer boys chose Baylor, creating years of overlapping memories. Most recently, their youngest son, Grant (BBA '26) graduated, closing a remarkable chapter for this Baylor family.

What began with one young man following God’s prompting became a legacy. 🐻✨

Sic ’Em, Van Hoozers!
