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, for the Samford Class of 2027. 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.
