The service will be called Baylor Telehealth by Academic Live Care and is free for all students. It will be a partnership between Baylor and Academic Live Care and will provide thousands of counselors for students to receive support from. It will act as both a crisis line and a way for students to get connected with a therapist. It also has long-term care options and offers appointments in the evenings and on weekends, outside of the BUCC’s hours.

“Sometimes people need to get away from their lives,” Braziel said. “Sometimes they need to not focus on [themselves] for a little bit. I mean, that's why we watch movies; that's why we pick up a good book. The only difference between that and live theater is that it's live. You're experiencing energy that's on stage directly in front of you instead of on the screen.”

“This is such a special journey for all of our students, but for our first-generation students, there’s that extra layer of that uniqueness of the journey in them being the first in their families to pursue higher education,” Michelle Gonzalez, program manager, said. “It’s a huge accomplishment. We can’t let them just graduate and not lift them up one more time.”

Nobody could top the worst-dressed and least on-theme celebrities of the night being Kylie Jenner and Sebastian Stan. Jenner caused a complete meltdown on Twitter by wearing a baseball cap to the Met Gala, which is unacceptable no matter the theme, and was made only more confusing by her pairing it with an actual wedding dress and a mesh top.
