 It was the father of one of our soon-to-be graduates from the Brock School of Business, leaning over the railing.  “I’ve been following you down the court, hoping to catch you,” he said.  And then he expressed, in a strong voice but with eyes that were melting, his appreciation for all that his son received here.  He concluded with a phrase that I hear so often:  “The investment was worth it.”  So this morning our story once again turns to the faculty, staff, students, trustees, alumni, parents, friends—and above all, to God—for creating and sustaining a university that is worthy of continued investment.

The world is better because of the abundant joy that is found, nurtured and shared at Samford.
