Success Mentoring Program

Success Mentoring Program is an accountability partnership between a mentor and eligible student. The mentors meet weekly with students who are at risk for academic difficulty. Conditionally admitted students are invited to join for the fall semester, and students on academic warning are required to enroll spring semester. The program is also open to other freshman students who desire to participate.

Focus

Focus serves a limited number of incoming Samford freshmen who want to make the most of their first semester of college. In Focus, you won't have more work than other students, but you may find that your work means more to you. It's not hard to get more out of life. You just have to Focus. Brochures will be sent to admitted students in the spring.
