The Frances Marlin Mann Awards for Leadership and Character: Recognizing Outstanding Student Leaders

In November, the Mann Center will host the inaugural presentation of the Frances Marlin Mann Awards for Leadership and Character, a recognition program for students who consistently exhibit exemplary leadership and strong character. One student from each school will be selected as an award recipient by his or her respective dean, with one additional recipient chosen by the department of athletics.

Of these students, one will be chosen to receive the Joe McDade Scholarship, a generous gift provided by Mr. Joe McDade, Samford alum and long-time supporter. The ideal student will demonstrate a life and character lived in the spirit of Christ; a contribution and commitment to the long-term development of the University; and leadership ability.

An award ceremony and reception will be held on Friday, November 15th, during Homecoming weekend festivities. All are welcome to attend; more information will be available online as it becomes available.
