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.

Just a little higher—Birmingham-Southern art students Richard Stump of Center Point (second from left), Will Jangaard of Florence (second from right), and Wes Letson of Hartselle (far right) assist award-winning artist Randy Gachet (on ladder) with the recent installation of his work “Ouroboros” for the Oct. 6 Durbin Gallery opening on campus. Highlighting his work from the past six months, Gachet will display his art exhibit “Conveyance” Oct. 6-29 in the Durbin Gallery of the Kennedy Art Center/Azar Art Studios. An iron pour in conjunction with Sloss Furnaces will be held from 5-8 p.m. on opening day, as well as a reception from 6-8 p.m. Gachet is a 1987 cum laude graduate of BSC and a sculpture teacher at The Alabama School of Fine Arts. His exhibit, which features drawings and sculptures from reclaimed tire material, is free and will be open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. For more information about the exhibit, contact BSC Assistant Professor of Art Jim Neel at 205/226-4782.
