Taylor Times was an internal publication created with the purpose of building rapport and understanding among and between administrators, faculty and staff of both the Upland and Fort Wayne campuses of Taylor University. Content largely included information pertaining to current university and personnel affairs, events, concerns, developments, news and issues.
The first issue of Taylor Times was published on August 23, 1995 and was generally published biweekly except for the summer months of June, July, and August, and the month of December when it was produced once a month. It was distributed to personnel on both campuses of Taylor University as well as external readers including retired employees, staff of the Grille and the Hodson Dining Commons, members of the National Alumni Council, Parents' Association and Board of Trustees.
