BSC welcomes the Class of 2022

For Immediate Release
Aug. 23, 2018

New students arrived on the Birmingham-Southern campus on Friday, August 24. The first class to land after BSC’s groundbreaking tuition reset includes students from 20 states and four countries. Of those:

61 percent hail from Alabama
29 percent identify as historically under-represented ethnicities
13 percent were admitted via BSC’s test-optional application
18 percent are first-generation college students
52 percent are female
37 percent of those reporting were in the top 20 percent of their high school class

The new students were welcomed by BSC students, staff, and faculty – and BSC President Linda Flaherty-Goldsmith – who helped unload cars and carry their belongings to their new homes in the BSC residence halls. You can watch a video recap of Move-In Day here:

On Saturday, August 25, as part of BSC’s Fall Orientation, first-year students spread across the city of Birmingham to participate in a day of service. Designed to introduce new students to their community and to BSC’s culture, this was the 18^th year students participated.
