It is probably the best day, because all
around campus we've all been waiting on these Bulldogs to come, you know what I
mean? Like I'm just ready for all the the students to get here and for us to begin
this this journey and this experience, so it's good because it's what
we've been waiting for, you know? I have enjoyed meeting members of the class of
2028 they are bright they are capable they've chosen Samford for all of the right reasons,
but every class is unique and this class will put it's unique stamp on this place and I know
we're going to be a better university because of this class. I love how Christ is the center
of it all. Everybody I met is so genuine and they're just really putting Christ in front of
everything and it's really been what I'm looking for. There's a specific light about um Samford's
campus and it's it's the Light of Christ, I hope that each of the you know people in leadership
and just students walking around um exude, so it's really exciting to like join them in on this
like this really good culture that we have here. The quality of people my oldest two have become
friends with and done life with so the last 3 to 5 years are just more than they ever experienced
until they got here, so I think it's just seems to be a magnet for just some really quality people.
New friendships are being made, new relationships, today is the first day of that Samford journey.
I've been able to find so many opportunities I did I don't think I'd be able to find at at other
places because of our small like class size because of our unique campus where we like feel
like a big school but we've so got like personal connections with everybody, and then also like
all the opportunities for leadership like they're we are focusing on on bringing up leaders and um
the changers of tomorrow's world, so I love that.
