Sandra Willis teaching
Samford University psychology professor Sandra Willis is the recipient of a $15,000 Course Development Grant offered by Biola University's Center for Christian Thought in La Miranda, California.

The course Willis proposed– The Meaning of Love– will be taught at least twice during the four-year span of the grant.

The grant is one of only two awarded and was selected from a nationwide pool of applicants. Grants from recent years were received by undergraduate and graduate faculty from Fuller Theological Seminary, Wheaton College and Catholic Theological Union.
