CAMPUSWIDE MEETING - LOCATION UPDATE

Please plan to attend a campuswide meeting at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 5, in Munger Auditorium. If you are unable to attend, information regarding the future of the College will also be shared with the campus community via email.

"The hour of decision is close at hand. If BSC can secure adequate one-time bridge funding, everything our college makes possible can continue for decades to come, without any future support from state and local government. If this critical funding is not provided, a century-old pillar of the community will vanish forever."
Visit the BSC Blog to read an important message from Rev. Keith Thompson ’83, Chair of the Birmingham-Southern College Board of Trustees, and Vice Chair Joelle James Phillips ’89.
