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.
A message of hope/encouragement—Noted as a human rights activist, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize-winning author, Elie Wiesel (pictured above, third from left) delivered this year's Alex P. Stirling Lecture Nov. 28 to a filled Bruno Great Hall on the Birmingham-Southern campus. Wiesel became an acclaimed journalist following World War II after surviving the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz as a teenager where his mother, younger sister, and father perished. His most famous book Night is a memoir of his experiences in the concentration camp. Currently, he is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University where he teaches Literature of Memory. The Stirling Lecture is sponsored annually by the BSC Student Government Association in memory of the BSC student who died of cancer in 1995. Shown at a reception prior to the lecture are (from left) Elizabeth Molony, SGA secretary; David Miller, SGA treasurer; Wiesel; Peter Starr, SGA president; Trey Cotney, SGA first-vice president; and Laura Buckner, SGA second-vice president.
