In Houston, Texas this past weekend, Hannah C. Rogers, a 2012 magna cum laude graduate in Psychology from Samford University’s Howard College of Arts and Sciences Class earned her Master of Science Physician Assistant degree from the School of Allied Health at Baylor College of Medicine. At the ceremony she received the prestigious Henry D. McIntosh Award. This award is “given annually to the graduating student who in the opinion of classmates and faculty has achieved the highest degree of academic excellence and service, and who best exemplifies the concept of the physician assistant.”
 
In a few days Samford will send almost 300 graduates on their way with our blessings and a prayer that we have given each our best and that they will multiply it. 
 
The world is better because of Hannah Rogers and every Samford graduate engaged in the multiplication of learning and of service.
