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.

Community outreach and advocacy—Most students who enter college have a limited understanding of social justice and advocacy. But that is changing at Birmingham-Southern thanks to a program started four years ago to get BSC students interested in examining and addressing critical social and economic problems. This year, 13 students were selected for the college's 2009 Hess Fellows Program, which allowed them to spend eight weeks this summer in the nation's capital working with advocacy organizations through paid internships. Pictured above (front row, from left) are Hess Fellows Susanna Miller, Emily Wallace, and Katie Glenn; (back row, from left) Jeanne Jackson, director of the BSC Hess Center for Leadership and Service; Hess Fellows Allison Bovell and Kathleen Smith; Ben Tracy, an Urban Environmental Studies major at BSC who interned at Green America in Washington, D.C., this summer; and David VanLandingham, a BSC graduate and 2009-10 AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer in the Hess Center. While visiting the Hess Fellows in D.C. in July, Jackson and VanLandingham attended a BSC alumni gathering. Shown below during the event (from left) are VanLandingham '09, Chris Meigs '09, and Art Richey '09.
