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.

Famous Chinese sightseeing—Benjamin Marsh, a 2007 psychology graduate of Birmingham-Southern, is pictured above holding a baby red panda at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base in Chengdu, China, during his personal travels. Marsh currently is on a one-year Fulbright Scholarship as an English teaching assistant at the Hong Kong Institute of Education for the training of teachers. The Fulbright Scholarship Program, funded by Congress, is a national grant competition which sends 800 U.S. students, scholars, and professionals abroad each year to study, teach, or conduct research in a wide variety of fields and settings. In the photo below, Marsh stands at the base of the Leshan Giant Buddha in Chengdu. Carved out of a hillside in the eighth century, it is the tallest stone Buddha statue in the world.
