Connections is Samford’s student welcome weekend dedicated to getting you plugged into Samford and the Birmingham community. We are so thrilled to welcome you to campus! A team of over 100 upperclassmen leaders provide support and encouragement during your first few days on campus. Events throughout the weekend include popsicles at the president’s house, a neon dance party, and opportunities to explore Birmingham.
