Fight Food Insecurity at Samford this Step Sing
Have you ever had an embarrassing thought, but no one knew about it? No sweat, right? Oh, but God knows, and He doesn’t ignore it. As it turns out, God used this particular moment of inner humiliation to convict me and bring me to my knees, and I need to share it with you.

Explaining Step Sing to a parent who has never experienced it is like describing the ocean to someone from Kansas. “It’s huge. It’s loud. It will be crawling with people in colorful outfits from all over the world.”

From Parents, For Parents: A Message From Samford Parents Pam and Marc Hoppers
The holiday break is an exciting time for many of us with children in college. Once finals are submitted, we have our kids back in the home and they have a break. My hope for your Christmas break, from one Samford parent to another, is that it is a time for meaningful connection with your student.
From Parents, For Parents: A Message from Julie Boyd
We were not surprised when our youngest son chose a university where he did not know a single person. After all, he is a leader, an extrovert and loves adventure! I was shocked, however, when he had problems finding connection and struggled with homesickness the first semester. He was having roommate issues, could not find “his people” and college life in general did not live up to his expectations.
From Parents, For Parents: A Message from Samford Parents Sharla and Eric Stafford
The first time we visited Samford, we looked at each other and said, "This feels like home." After enrolling our twins at Samford in 2021, we quickly learned that the university truly loves its students and their families. As parents, we feel just as much a part of the Samford family as our girls do. Living in Minnesota, it’s over a 16-hour drive to Birmingham, but we have complete peace knowing they are at a school that will love them well.
