The Frances Marlin Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership is an academic center that facilitates the understanding of Christian character, servant leadership and moral integrity in Samford students through practice. We are located in Brooks Hall 227.
Each year the Mann Center provides faculty support, coordinates community-based learning opportunities and implements various other programs including Partners Acting in the Community Today (PACT), Samford Gives Back, and Mann Center Service Immersion Trips. Through these opportunities, Samford students put their faith to practice through relationships with international, national and local community partners.
History
The Frances Marlin Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership was founded in 2008 with support from Marvin L. Mann, a Samford University graduate who served as chairman and chief executive officer of Lexmark International prior to his retirement. The center’s name honors his wife of 53 years, the late Frances Marlin Mann. We are grateful for the support of the Mann family in making possible the work of this center.
