As a high school counselor, you are well versed in the college search process. However, we realize the newness that each student uniquely experiences as they embark on their journey of what’s next. At Samford, we want to come alongside you, empowering students to realize their full potential throughout their college search.

We are continually inspired by your investment in students, and recognize your commitment to encourage them, leading with a sureness that is often invaluable in the life of a curious teenager. It’s this dedication that reinforces our staff’s commitment of working alongside you to ensure student success this fall.

This year, we’re delighted to resume our in-person visit opportunities. We hope you will encourage your students to visit their admission counselor in-person in your city or join us for a Preview Day this fall.
