A photo or two

April is a busy month on the Birmingham-Southern campus, and this week, two photos caught our fancy.

Rocking at SoCo—The Grammy-nominated band Nickel Creek entertains Birmingham-Southern College students during the annual SoCo entertainment weekend April 7-8 on campus. The progressive bluegrass band entertained the students during a Friday evening concert in Bill Battle Coliseum. Matt Pond PA opened for Nickel Creek. The following night, the bands Who’s Bad? and 17th Floor performed. SoCo has been a springtime tradition at BSC since 1982. Photo submitted by Blake Burton, a senior business administration major from Daphne.

All smiles for Easter Bunny—Some 300 Birmingham-Southern alumni, friends, and their children enjoyed the college’s 17th annual Easter Egg Hunt April 15 on the Striplin Center Lawn, which included a visit by the Easter Bunny. Here, three young egg hunters spend some time with the special guest. Along with the Easter Bunny, the kids enjoyed finding more than 2,000 eggs, an outstanding spring day, and refreshments.
