The Samford community mourns the loss of alumnus Derrick Moore, who tragically passed after rescuing a girl struggling in a rip current in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Moore is a 2001 graduate of Samford, where he played football and ran track & field. A beloved teacher, Moore is remembered as a true hero. Please keep the Moore family in your prayers during this time.

Our Teacher Education faculty hosted a breakfast to thank Trace Crossings Elementary faculty and staff for welcoming our ESEC and ELMN junior block students into their school year after year.

Many School of Education graduates also teach and lead at Trace Crossings, making this partnership even more meaningful.

Thank you, Trace Crossings, for investing in the next generation of educators, and thank you to Chick-fil-A the Grove for donating the coffee! 🍎☕
