The BIC Leadership Council is a student leadership organization that students can join as soon as they arrive at Baylor made up of roughly eighteen students. This organization creates a variety of unique events to strengthen the unity of the entire BIC community.
Peer Instructors
Peer Instructors (PIs) are upper level students that are paid to serve as assistances to professors and tutors to students in the freshman World Cultures and World of Rhetoric sequences. These students have a unique opportunity to work alongside both freshman and professors. PIs are an invaluable part of the freshman experience in the BIC as they not only help students through their classes, but also their transition to college.
