When you turn 175 it’s good to have some friends around you and Samford University had some good friends to draw from.

Comedian John Crist, actor Tony Hale, Little Big Town, National Football League players and other alumni and student groups are among the Samford University community wishing the institution a happy 175th birthday in this special video produced by the Division of Marketing and Communication.
