At Samford University, community service is not just part of the culture; it’s actually built into the curriculum.

And Samford students’ already substantial involvement in community work at home and abroad continues to grow significantly, based on the annual Community Engagement and Impact Report the university began compiling three years ago.

According to the latest report from the Frances Marlin Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership, Samford undergraduate and graduate students during the 2015-16 academic year performed 927,192 hours of off-campus community engagement work in a wide range of fields. That figure represents a 29 percent increase from the previous year.“Community engagement is simply part of the university’s DNA,” said Mann Center director Drayton Nabers. “The experiences of students when engaged in community work will stay with them for a lifetime.”
