Cultivating Leadership
for a better world
Serving Samford University and Society
The Frances Marlin Mann Center for Ethics and Leadership, based in the Brock School of Business, supports teaching, research and service across the Samford University campus. Our mission is to:
- Promote the moral development of Samford students and equip them for ethical leadership in vocational, community and family life.
- Serve as a center of teaching excellence, empowering faculty with the methods and resources to integrate ethics effectively into the curriculum.
- Foster a university culture that values productive, moral discourse around challenges facing individuals, the professions and society.
- Amplify other Samford initiatives in ethics and leadership, encouraging interdisciplinary scholarship across the university.
- Engage the professional and business communities for mutual learning and the advancement of ethical values and practices.
As a university-wide center, we sponsor curricular and co-curricular initiatives with Samford’s professional schools and other academic programs. Ongoing projects include an online resource center, the Gerow Hodges Lecture Series, the Courageous Conversations dialogues, and the Mann Medal in Ethics and Leadership.
