Honoring black history—Birmingham Mayor William Bell (third from left) was on campus Feb. 9 as a guest speaker for the college's Black History Month celebration. Bell spoke to a nearly filled Bruno Great Hall of students, faculty and staff members, alumni, and guests. In his address "Building Our Future One Child at a Time," Bell shared personal reflections of his college years at UAB and how he worked to bring more events to campus to educate others about the African-American experience and culture. He also encouraged the audience to purposely meet people different from themselves, accept those differences, and learn from others for a more united community. The evening event was sponsored by the BSC Education Department. Shown with Bell is the executive committee of BSC's Black Student Union: (from left) junior biology major Agee Baldwin III, vice president; senior religion major Trey Johnson, president; sophomore music major Rose Reddick, secretary; senior psychology major Tayla Bryant, treasurer; and sophomore music major Iris Reddick, parliamentarian. Missing from the photo is senior sociology major Meredith Little, Multicultural Advisory Committee representative.

Positively AXO—Two Birmingham-Southern sorority sisters recently returned from a week in Indianapolis where they had the opportunity to attend the annual Alpha Chi Omega (AXO) Leadership Academy. Erica Lasky (on left), a junior accounting major from Elyria, Ohio, and Chelsea Smith, a sophomore psychology major from Anniston, attended the retreat with more than 400 other AXO women and advisors. The event was held at the national headquarters of the sorority where the students are pictured making the traditional AXO hand sign. They were standing in inches of snow, while in Alabama, the temperature was over 50 degrees. "At Leadership Academy, we learned ways to help improve our chapter of Alpha Chi Omega sorority at BSC," said Smith. "We also met and bonded with sisters from California, Ohio State, and Georgia Tech."
