The goal of the Office of Student Success and Diversity is to advance efforts that engage the Samford community in multicultural curricular and co-curricular development while promoting a variety of campus events that enhance cross-cultural initiatives and celebrate diversity and inclusion while promoting respect for others.
Our objectives are three-fold:
- Scholarship - We assist minority students in achieving the highest scholarship possible by providing tutoring and other academic resources.
- Community - We promote a sense of community by providing programming that enables the Samford community to grow and learn together.
- Pride - We foster a sense of pride in self and the Samford community by helping students, faculty and staff recognize their investment in the university and the university's investment in them.
We are proud to work with the following organizations on campus: African Students' Association, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Black Law Students Association, Black Student Union, Chinese Student Scholars Association, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc., Gospel Choir, Hispanic Law Students Association, International Club, Latino Student Organization, National Pan-Hellenic Council, R.A.N.S.O.M. College Ministry, and Student National Pharmaceutical Association.
