Former first lady Laura Bush visited Samford University in Birmingham on March 26 as part of the annual Tom and Marla Corts Distinguished Author Series presented by Samford’s Orlean Bullard Beeson School of Education.
The visit by Bush, a former teacher and librarian, began a series of events to celebrate the 100th anniversary of teacher education programs at Samford.
The Distinguished Author Series was established in 2011 to honor the late Thomas Corts, who served as Samford president for 23 years, and his wife, Marla, a former high school English teacher.
