You’re a student for a season, but you’re a Samford Bulldog for life! SUAA seeks to provide opportunities for our newest alumni to stay engaged after they leave campus.

The Young Alumni Boards of Birmingham and Nashville seek to support and enhance young alumni engagement through local activities, networking and service to Samford University.

While our two largest young alumni groups are currently in Birmingham and Nashville, each of our regional Chapters and Clubs also look for opportunities to welcome new graduates to their area and connect them to the local Samford community.

All young alumni events will be posted on the main Alumni Association Events Calendar.

If you have questions about connecting to the alumni network in your city, please contact the SUAA office at sualumni@samford.edu.
