At Samford University we pursue both faith
and future. Here students are well prepared for their career passions to meet the
unique purpose God has planned for them. Today, we’re offering even more robust educational
opportunities, that carry our graduates and mission to new heights around the world.
In 2023, our students’ success, their commitment to excellence, was there
for all to see. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, in academic competitions, or on the
fields of play—Samford students showed dedication. And Samford is dedicated to our students,
faithful to deliver exceptional campus experiences by providing enhanced facilities, innovative
academic opportunities, and sacred moments to make community impact during their Samford journey.
Fidelitas—it’s Latin for the word faithfulness and it perfectly describes our commitment
to fulfill the eight pillars of Samford University’s strategic plan announced
in 2023. These distinctive pillars will guide us in assuring Samford’s impact on the
world, and I am confident that with God and the support of our faithful Samford family, we
will achieve the bold vision Fidelitas provides. I encourage you to read the stories shared
in our 2023 Annual Report. They illustrate our implementation of Fidelitas
over the past year and showcase Samford University’s unwavering commitment
to impact our world today and for the future.
