Samford’s commencement ceremonies are intended to be a sacred moment for the graduates and their families. This is a once-in-a-lifetime honor for them and the families and friends who are supporting them with their attendance today. Please hold your applause and other expressions of celebration until all diplomas have been presented. Family members are invited to stand in honor as their graduate’s name is called. Thank you for honoring and respecting this important Samford tradition.

Congratulations THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT SAMFORD UNIVERSITY to celebrate the accomplishments of the Class of 2021. 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 180 years, Samford has granted thousands of degrees; today these graduates join near 54,000 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 2021. We have given you our best; we will hold you in our hearts until we meet again.

2 Spring 2021 Commencement / SAMFORD UNIVERSITY University Mace There 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.
