Baylor Alumni

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!

If you could relive one Baylor moment, what would it be—and why?
