Today is a special day as our freshmen officially
begin their Samford journey. In just a few moments, this record-setting class will gather
at the footsteps of Centennial Walk next to our beloved Beeson Statue. We’ll take a class photo
and then together we will all process up the steps toward Davis Library—the academic center of
campus—and then students will ring in using a bell made exclusively for them. It’s a symbolic
way for our newest students to start their academic journey and to begin to discover where
their passions find purpose – here at Samford.
