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.

An “alternative” spring break—Several Birmingham-Southern students spent their traditional spring break in March working on Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in Pascagoula, Miss. Hosted by Operation TLC, the students helped repair homes damaged by the August 2005 storm, including drywall installation, carpentry, and gutting. The group also heard from the founders of Operation TLC and of Mississippi Home Again, organizations established to help Gulf Coast residents in Mississippi recover from the storm. Here, the students take a break outside a house they are working on. At far right is Sara Doughton, BSC’s assistant coordinator of service learning. Birmingham-Southern’s Alternative Fall Break and Alternative Spring Break give students opportunities to serve and learn in other communities.
