UM presidential inauguration events begin with prayer service

University of Mobile (UM) President Dr. Timothy L. Smith (center, bowtie) is surrounded by more than 300 students as they pray for a revival on campus and the university’s leadership. Smith then called faculty and staff to the stage to pray for students. The nearly two-hour, student-led praise and worship service March 21 was the first event of several leading up to the inauguration of Smith as the fourth UM president. The inauguration and investiture ceremony was March 24 at Cottage Hill Baptist Church, Mobile.
