I Am SAM The SAM award stands for “Serving to Advance the Mission,” and will be given to a faculty or staff member who works to achieve the mission of the college. Recipients will exemplify the characteristics of the college’s own “SAM,” Samuel H. Black, Ph.D., a beloved and founding faculty member of the College of Medicine. Each COM location has a SAM award to be given as employees are spotted doing something to better the college. That person then passes on the award to someone else who they see doing something extraordinary.
