Welcome to Birmingham-Southern's “Hilltop Photo of the Week” webpage 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 pcole@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.

Site visit to Africa—Two Birmingham-Southern associate professors of education and Kristin Harper '92, director of service learning for the college's Bunting Center for Engaged Study and Community Action, recently returned from a 10-day exploratory site visit in Ghana, Africa, for the January 2012 Explorations Term (formerly called Interim Term). Above, Dr. Amelia Spencer '85 meets with students at Bakpa Avedo School where she and Harper and Dr. Louanne Jacobs will take 20 BSC students next year for a service-learning initiative aimed at teaching English to children through a specially designed curriculum they will develop. "We are so excited about this new partnership with the Amekor Foundation," said Harper. "Executive Director John Rogers '04 has established relationships with the people of Avedo and especially with teachers at the school where we will be. We look forward to working together with them to increase school attendance, improve learning, and offer professional development to teachers."
