Mission

The Residence Life Department is a unit of the Operations and Planning Division of Samford University.  The mission of the Department is to provide a quality residential living-learning environment for students and guests by the establishment of a nurturing, Christian community in each residence hall. 

This is achieved through providing, maintaining and operating comfortable, attractive and safe residence facilities through a trained, competent, professional staff committed to the Christian faith who offer organized programs, activities, and personal services for residents. 

Within these communities, it is the mission of the Department to provide opportunities that continuously nurture a resident's total personality and self-esteem resulting in achievement of each person's highest potential intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually.  This will yield a citizen highly valued by present and future family, friends, and associates as well as by the individual.
