This past weekend we had two very bitter-sweet moments take place as both of our seniors walked across their respective stages to receive their diplomas officially ending their time here at Samford.
Savannah Hill received her degree in nursing and was pinned Friday morning by her parents, marking her entry into the medical profession! We all know how great of a player Savannah was, but we can all say on this staff that if ever we needed a nurse, we want Savannah by our bedside. She has studied hard, learned the material, applied it throughout her preceptorship in the hospitals and has received rave reviews from the faculty here at Samford and the nurses she worked with during her time here. Her compassion and humor make for an unbeatable combination and whichever patients have her by their side can consider themselves extremely lucky!
Emily London received her degree in Journalism and Mass Communications on Saturday morning and as we watched her walk across the stage we couldn't have been more proud of someone who put in the work and got out of her experience exactly what she put into it. Emily's accomplishments on the court are only rivaled by her success we know is sure to come! In four years she has been a part of a championship team, been named to numerous all-conference teams, been named player of the year and for all of that we are proud, but to look at what will come for her makes us even more excited! She is a passionate and caring individual whom will do wonderfully in whatever comes her way!
Both of these ladies embody what it means to be a Samford student-athlete and while they will be missed greatly, we are all looking forward to a future that is as bright as any that have graduated from this University. They are both one-of-a-kind and we cannot express enough our thanks for how much they gave to this program and to this University!
