DENVER, Colorado (May 9, 2022) – The “best hour of the week” – Baylor University’s Dr Pepper Hour – is making four local stops at Denver-area campuses to conclude an eight-week Dr Pepper Hour Tour of Texas and Colorado. The tour will stop by Monday, May 9, at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Tuesday, May 10, at Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village, Wednesday, May 11, at Holy Family High School in Broomfield and Thursday, May 12, at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch.

Dr Pepper Hour – a tradition of Baylor University since 1953 – is closing out its multi-state high school tour to deliver the sweet experience of Dr Pepper floats alongside the excitement of being a part of the Baylor Family.

“We wanted to extend the Baylor campus experience across the state and beyond by sharing this legendary Baylor treat with prospective students,” explains Jason Cook, Baylor’s vice president for marketing and communications and chief marketing officer. “It’s such a unique tradition; where else do students enjoy free ice cream with their friends every week of their college experience?”

Dr Pepper Hour is held on the Baylor campus every Tuesday from 3 to 4 p.m. with free Dr Pepper floats for students. Currently, more than 500 Baylor students are from Colorado, second only to California as home for Baylor students from outside of Texas.

A custom Baylor and Dr Pepper-branded truck and trailer covered the eight-week tour, March to May, with stops at select high schools in Waco, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Tyler, Longview and Midland. The tour concludes in Colorado, with stops planned in and around the Denver area.

The trailer will set up shop, creating a Baylor experience, including tents and Baylor signage, Baylor Admissions counselors and Dr Pepper float kits for the first 300 students. Each student will be provided a Baylor-branded cup, ice cream and a can of Dr Pepper to help recreate one of the University’s most beloved on-campus traditions. Additional Baylor merch and giveaways will be available.
