John M. Perkins loves the young people—and has a job for them.

“This is the first generation that values difference; that sees it as an asset,” Perkins told students, faculty and staff at College Hour chapel March 15 in the Special Events Center.

Robert Smith, Jr., took the mic in College Hour guest January 18—but he didn’t need it.

Smith is professor of divinity and Christian preaching at Beeson Divinity School at Samford University. He does research on passion in preaching, and put that passion into practice for students, faculty and staff in the Special Events Center.
