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.
Jump start on college—Sarah Garrett, a recent graduate of Homewood High School, and her mother, Nancy Garrett, recently attended June Jump Start, Birmingham-Southern's traditional summer orientation day for incoming students and their families. They were among nearly 800 students and parents who participated in the annual daylong event. Student activities that day included an academic open house, visits to residence hall rooms, a roommate roundup, getting ID's made, and placement tests. Parents attended information seminars on financial aid, residence life, and “questions and answers with BSC staff.” “This summer orientation day offers students and families the opportunity to gain an even stronger sense of connection with their BSC family before the more hectic pace of Move-In Day occurs in August,” says Sara Hoover, BSC director of personal counseling. “We want students and parents to leave knowing who they can turn to for questions that may arise before the fall term.”
