Home away from home—New first-year BSC students arrived on campus Saturday, Aug. 26, for the traditional move-in day. (Above photo) Among this year’s incoming freshmen is Demetrius Foy (third from right) from Gainesville, Ala. Foy, a religion major, and his family are members of Spring Valley Baptist Church, which is one of 10 Alabama churches burned by arson in February. Pictured with Foy are his parents, Ron (second from left) and Sabrina (second from right) Hutchins; two younger brothers, LaRon Hutchins (left) and JaQuaylen Hutchins (front); aunt Natashia Hutchins (right); and girlfriend Robin Webb (third from left), who is a freshman at UAB. (Below photo) Ashley Frohock, a BSC admission counselor, and Dr. Stewart Jackson, Dean of the Chapel, were among the faculty, staff, and returning students who pitched in to help new students and their families unload belongings and get settled in the residence halls.
