"When we visited this past Monday," wrote the mother of one of our prospective students, "it was our fourth visit to Samford.  Every tour we've been on, every meeting we've attended and even the casual pizza party the Fellows program sponsored has been outstanding.  The people we have met, without exception, have also been outstanding, including the lady in the coffee shop, the faculty members, the groundskeepers, administrators and students, to the janitor in the ladies' room who provided directions." 

 

The world is better because of our outstanding employees.
