Samford is a leading Christian university offering undergraduate programs grounded in the liberal arts with an array of nationally recognized graduate and professional schools. Founded in 1841, Samford is the 87th-oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. The Wall Street Journal ranks Samford 2nd nationally for student engagement and US News & World Report ranks Samford 86th nationally for best value. Samford enrolls 5,729 students from 47 states and 30 countries in its 10 academic schools: arts, arts and sciences, business, divinity, education, health professions, law, nursing, pharmacy, and public health. Samford fields 17 athletic teams that compete in the tradition-rich Southern Conference, and ranks 1st nationally for its Graduation Success Rate among all NCAA Division I schools. Among Samford’s 53,915 alumni have included more than 60 members of the U.S. Congress, eight state governors, two U.S. Supreme Court justices, one Secretary of State, four Rhodes Scholars, multiple Emmy and Grammy award-winning artists, two national championship football coaches, and recipients of the Pulitzer and Nobel Peace prize.

CongratulationsTHANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT SAMFORD UNIVERSITY to celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2020. The commencement ceremony is the pinnacle of the academic year. All our work and effort at Samford leads to this moment. We rejoice in the fulfillment of our institutional mission and honor the beginning of a new era in the life of each graduate. This exercise continues our tradition that stretches to Samford’s founding in 1841 as Howard College in Marion, Alabama. Across the past 179 years, Samford has granted thousands of degrees; today these graduates join more than 52,000 living alumni serving around the world. We take pride in their hours of study and preparation required to earn their academic degrees. We recognize the sacrifice of the students and their families, the work of the faculty, and the dedication of so many who provide the financial support necessary to build and sustain a great independent university. All of us at Samford are especially grateful to those who have loved and supported these graduates. We welcome each of you into the fellowship of our extended Samford University family as we celebrate this very special day. Congratulations to the Class of 2020. We have given you our best; we will hold you in our hearts until we meet again. Sincerely,
Andrew Westmoreland, President

University MaceThere are two maces used at commencement. The oldest mace is from the 1970s, made from wood, and represents the founding of Samford University. It contains a medallion used in past university presidents’ inauguration ceremonies. The new mace—constructed of silver and ebony—comprises eight elements that symbolize Samford’s history and tradition as a Christian university. A simple cross resides at the top of the instrument. Beneath the cross, silver bands embrace a Lucite sphere embedding a computer chip containing the entire Bible, linking the high-tech world with the timeless biblical Word. A likeness of columns, reflective of Samford’s Georgian Colonial architecture, bears the university motto, “for God, for learning, forever.” A decahedron follows bearing the university seal, logo and historical scenes. A globe symbolizes Samford’s international mission as an educational institution devoted to world awareness and ministry. Below the globe, a cylinder encases actual soil from Samford’s four campuses (two in Marion, Alabama, and two in Birmingham). The cylinder bears the Shema (“Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One”). Extending to the bottom of the mace is an ebony wood shaft inlaid with silver plates bearing the names of Samford presidents. The mace rests on an acorn base, reflective of Sherman Oak, symbol of the East Lake campus, and of the fact that sturdy, strong lives spring from humble beginnings. The mace is borne by a faculty representative at the head of all university academic processions as an ensign of authority. To be the mace bearer is an honor extended to faculty who have won teaching awards or who have been recommended for this honor by the dean of their college.

Commencement HonorsHonors at Samford University are awarded on the basis of all academic work taken at Samford University. Students who earn at least 70 credits at Samford and a grade point average (calculated on all work done at Samford University) of 3.500 through 3.749 are graduated cum laude; of 3.750 through 3.899 are graduated magna cum laude; and 3.900 through 4.000 are graduated summa cum laude. Latin honors announced at commencement are not official; they are subject to change once grading is completed. Upon recommendation of the faculty, a candidate for a J.D. may be awarded the degree cum laude if the student’s grade point average at the law school ranks the student in the top 15% of the graduating class. A candidate whose grade point average at the law school ranks the student in the top 5% of the graduating class may be awarded a J.D. magna cum laude. A candidate whose grade point average at the law school ranks the student in the top 1% of the graduating class, but no less than two students, may be awarded a J.D. summa cum laude. Undergraduates receiving a degree designated “University Fellows” have completed the rigorous university honors program, which requires a two-year interdisciplinary core curriculum, and provides opportunities for international study and academic enrichment. As a result, this degree
recognizes exemplary academic achievement. These students may also qualify for summa cum laude, magna cum laude and cum laude designations.
Academic DressThe formal academic dress worn today originated in the Middle Ages and is modeled after the gowns used at Cambridge University and Oxford University in England. Until the Civil War, American university students usually wore their gowns to class each day. Now, gowns are typically worn only at commencement. In general, the gown indicates the level of the highest degree held: for bachelor’s degrees, the black gown with flowing, pointed sleeves; for master’s degrees, the black gown with sleeves slit midway for the arms and the sleeve bottom closed flat with a semicircle cut in the side; for doctoral degrees, the flowing robe with sleeves closed at the wrist, decorated with chevrons of velvet, most often black on black, but occasionally with chevrons of another color indicating the general field of study. Occasionally, the entire robe is of another, university-specific color.
GonfalonsIn May 2016, Samford University introduced new gonfalons, the ceremonial flags that serve as a symbol of each college and school that compose Samford University. The gonfalons, hand-stitched by the New England Flag and Banner Company, are displayed only at university commencement. The history of gonfalons goes back to the time of ancient Rome. Roman armies used them to identify military units and were symbols of pride. In medieval Europe, gonfalons served important purposes in commerce. Most people could not read, so gonfalons served to advertise businesses. Different colors and symbols on the flags denoted what each business had to offer. In Renaissance Italy, gonfalons were used in religious processions and were often adorned with pictures of the life of Christ or of the saints. Trade guilds and city-states used them much as we use national flags today. Today, colleges and universities mark occasions of special significance with gonfalons. They are a reminder of both the solemnness and the celebratory nature of commencement.

Speakers
In 1996, DR. JANE S. MARTIN was the first graduate faculty member hired at Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing. As a new hire, she quickly developed a legacy of excellence. She began her tenure by launching the school’s first nurse practitioner program. She developed curriculum, secured clinical sites and taught the inaugural class of just four students. Today, the program has developed into a full department that offers a combined twelve pathways, concentrations and certificate options and has contributed to the careers of nearly 900 nurses.
Over the years, her service has been instrumental in the growth and development of the school’s programs and beyond. With a contagious level of passion, commitment and humility, she enhances the work of all who are around her. Martin has volunteered for numerous committee positions and has served students, alumni, faculty, staff and the advisory board faithfully. She has fought for the appointment of faculty, aided in the formation of programs, overseen multimillion-dollar grants, and worked to further develop curriculum and experiential learning
opportunities—all of which have enhanced the reputation of Samford’s Moffett & Sanders School of Nursing and the skillsets of its graduates. Since 2015, Martin has served as senior associate dean and professor, and, in 2020, she was appointed as the school’s interim dean.
Still, her reach stems far beyond the gates of Samford University as her ability to forge relationships is unmatched. She befriends all she meets and has a true heart for serving others. In the 90s, Martin was responsible for securing Birmingham’s first mobile clinic that provided medical care to migrant workers. She has served as a board member and committee member for numerous service and nursing organizations, a consultant for a variety of academic programs and she has volunteered her clinical skills and knowledgebase for disaster relief and the betterment of populations such as our veterans, the physically disabled and migrant workers.
