As we closed the interview, I asked about the person at Samford who has most influenced them. Taylore spoke of the impact of Coach Todd Yelton. Edward offered words of praise for Dr. Grant Dalton. Michaela affirmed the work of Dr. Amy Hoaglund. The accomplishments of the three students are extraordinary; the support they have received from faculty and staff illustrates Samford’s goal to promote the “development of intellect, creativity, faith, and personhood.”
The world is better because of Taylore Miller, Edward Garner, Michaela Hunter, Todd Yelton, Amy Hoaglund and Grant Dalton.
