I give back in honor of Dr. Denise Gregory, whose organic chemistry class I failed my freshman year. She taught me to never give up on myself even when I face adversity. She was the first woman of color to ever join Samford's Executive Leadership Team and lead the Office of Success and Diversity. Now that she is moving mountains at another university, her guidance and influence on our campus is missed, but the lives she impacted will always be changed because of her. Thank you, Dr. Gregory!
