Sentence by sentence, faculty members were becoming acquainted with many students who, one year from now, will be nearing the end of their first semester at Samford.  I was thankful as I witnessed these exchanges.  A friend told me many years ago that a university can't be better than the faculty.  Samford is a strong institution, in large measure, due to the quality of our faculty.

The world is better because of the strength and dedication of the Samford faculty.
