Student activities for first-year experience—A group of first-year students who are all majoring in theatre at Birmingham-Southern climbed to Peavine Falls in Oak Mountain State Park Aug. 31 as part of a CONNECT fall orientation activity. Pictured on far right in photo above is Michael Flowers, professor of theatre and chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance at BSC. In its third year now, the CONNECT program is designed to clearly articulate the goals of a BSC education and help first-year students recognize connections between and across disciplines using the language and goals of the college's Foundations curriculum. Other first-year students at Birmingham-Southern spent their first weekend away from home serving and learning from their neighbors in the West End community for Fall Outreach Day. Below, sophomore Matt Kelly, who is a Bunting Center student liaison for Northstar Youth Ministries, and freshman Kelsie Overton apply paint to a wall inside the Northstar facility. The BSC Bunting Center for Engaged Study and Community Action hosts the outreach day each year to introduce first-year BSC students to their neighborhood and expose them to the experiential component of service learning. The college kicked off its 2009-10 academic year Sept. 2.
