“So, then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but members of the household.”
- Ephesians 2:19

My SamFam is a brand-new, host home program designed to foster meaningful relationships between Samford students and Birmingham-area families. Through intentional hospitality, shared meals, and time together, students experience a sense of belonging beyond campus while families offer encouragement, wisdom, and support during a formative season of life.

Incoming freshmen through rising seniors are invited to participate, with priority given to students who live over 400 miles from Samford. Learn more at samford.edu/parents/mysamfam.
