Welcome to Birmingham-Southern’s “Hilltop Photo of the Week” web page and archives. Each week at this site, we’ll feature a photo that depicts some aspect of life on the Hilltop campus, along with brief information about what is taking place in the Photo of the Week.

The college welcomes submissions to be considered for the Hilltop Photo of the Week. Scanned or digital photos can be e-mailed to the Office of Communications at bwagnon@bsc.edu, or photographic prints may be sent through campus mail to Box 549004. Please limit photo submissions to those that depict some aspect of the BSC experience, and be sure to identify what is taking place in the photo, along with location and people involved.

Medieval scholars—Twenty-two Birmingham-Southern students (20 of whom are pictured here on the streets of Oxford) were awarded scholarships for British Studies at Oxford, a summer school conducted annually at St. John’s College in Oxford, England. Each year, the courses concentrate on a different period of British history and culture. This year the July 2-August 8 seminars focused on “Early and Medieval Britain: From Roman Britain to the Coming of the Tudors.” Students sampled a wide variety of offerings in British studies, including participation by British faculty and courses in Shakespeare, literature, medicine, history, political science, and theatre. Dr. Susan Hagen (pictured kneeling on the far right), Mary Collett Munger Professor of English at BSC, accompanied the students to London.
