Hilltop Photo of the Week

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.

Genealogy in South Africa—Standing where Africa ends in Cape Town, wearing their BSC shirts, are (from left) Lisa Glenn, a 2006 Birmingham-Southern graduate; her mother, Laura Whitehurst Glenn, a 1978 BSC graduate; and her sister, Katie, who will be a freshman at BSC in the fall. Laura and Katie Glenn recently visited Lisa in South Africa, where she has been living and working at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg since January as part of a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship she received last year for international cultural study. She will complete her year abroad in December. “My biggest project here is helping to prepare for the 2007 Rotary AIDS Hike,” says Lisa. “The hike will be in December and will include six students hiking from Johannesburg to Durban (over 1,000 km.) to raise money and awareness for AIDS orphans and vulnerable children in Africa.”
