Welcome, Parents and Families
Campus has been buzzing with excitement recently as many students participated in Step Sing 2012. The performances were incredible and the students always impress the audience with their hard work and dedication to one of Samford’s most cherished traditions.
The women’s basketball team recently defeated ASU to take home the Southern Conference championship. We celebrate the team’s success and congratulate them on their accomplishments.
On March 6th, the university recognized Philanthropy Difference Day, which was the theoretical day that tuition dollars alone run out and the university operates on gifts from alumni, parents and friends for the remainder of the semester. We thank all of our donors for making the Samford experience possible.
Samford’s spring break is March 19-23. Although students will travel home or elsewhere during the break, our administrative offices will remain open. We pray for your student’s safety as they take time away from campus to relax and recharge before returning to campus to finish out the spring semester.
The office of alumni and parents programs has been hosting events throughout the Samford footprint. Be sure to check out the schedule of upcoming events listed to the left and please join us when we are in your city.
Commencement is right around the corner (May 18 and 19), and we look forward to welcoming many families to campus for the ceremonies.
Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions during your family’s Samford journey. I welcome your comments and suggestions, and I am here to support you as you support your student throughout his/her Samford experience.
