| The Samford University Honor Pledge |
|
Pending a Senate vote on Tuesday, March 21st, the following honor pledge will be included on the 2017 spring elections ballot:
Preamble
Samford University's motto-For God, For Learning, Forever-brings together our commitment to our Christian heritage, the pursuit and transmission of knowledge, and the enduring virtues.
Only a particular kind of person and institution can fulfill such a demanding motto. To do this, the individuals who form the Samford community must embrace honor in all areas of life and scholarship. Thus, an honor pledge is an appropriate way for the Samford community to live out its motto.
Honor Pledge
I believe that the members of the Samford community possess dignity and are worthy of honor.
I understand that honoring others fosters academic achievement, personal growth, and spiritual development.
I commit to hold myself and my peers to the standards of conduct and academic integrity maintained by the University.
To this I, ___________________________________________, pledge my sacred honor.
For God, For Learning, Forever
