The Office of Student Leadership and Involvement seeks to recognize Samford students for their outstanding contributions to campus and community through the Student Leader Spotlight program.
Nominated students are not required to hold "official" leadership positions. The purpose of the spotlight is to recognize students who may not receive recognition otherwise. Students, faculty, and staff can nominate.
