Samford's Admissions department has plans well underway for next year's freshman class as this year comes to a close. The freshman class will be comprised of about 740 to 750 students, acting dean of admissions Jason Black said. "At this point, we have 25 states represented with modest increases in a few of the contiguous states," Black said.
Samford will hold a senior prayer breakfast instead of the traditional baccalaureate service this year. The breakfast will take place in the Caf on Friday, May 14 at 7:15 a.m., and it will be a more casual time of fellowship for members of the graduating class.
Having grown up in the evangelical church, one of the phrases I have heard repeatedly is "You've just got to have faith."What does that mean? Faith is a concept that is often referenced, but one, I believe, that is rarely understood. Over the course of my studies here and elsewhere, faith is something that I have always wrestled with.
With a little over a week left in the spring semester, many students' minds are already in summer mode. Undoubtedly, most of us will be visiting the beach or lake at least once in the next three months. Basking in the sun's rays, catching up on some pleasure reading, all while relaxing to the tunes on your IPod's summer playlist are pretty much the only rules to follow on vacation.
When the 2009-2010 athletic campaign began in August, Samford could not help but notice a new addition to every uniform - a big target on the back of every athlete, coach and administrator. This was due to the Bulldogs' overwhelming success in their first season in the SoCon.
