Beyond its financial value, BSC serves as an engaged partner and neighbor to the historic communities that surround it.
Published: Nov. 06, 2023, 11:29 [email protected] we represent different districts and different political parties in the U.S. House of Representatives, there are times that we agree when it comes to what’s best for Alabama.For one of us Birmingham-Southern College is in the district I am so honored to represent. I’ve employed numerous staffers and interns over the years who are BSC alum, including my current Legislative Aide and Chief of Staff.
We were glad when the Alabama Legislature passed SB278, which established the Distressed Institutions of Higher Learning Revolving Loan Program. Because Alabama had a once-in-a-generation, $2.8B surplus in the Education Trust Fund, setting aside $30 million for the loan program was accomplished without reduction to state-supported institutions.
Those communities – Graymont, College Hills, Bush Hills, Smithfield, and the area once known as Dynamite Hill – are about to receive a significant boost in federal funding that will provide new, affordable housing and will create an urban trail leading to the Civil Rights District downtown. We were proud to secure that funding for the city of Birmingham, and now cannot fathom it abutting 192 acres of empty classrooms and unoccupied residence halls.
Alabama residents make up 60 percent of BSC’s student body. Half of BSC’s 17,000 graduates remain in Alabama, where their impact is seen and felt in every walk of life in every one of our 67 counties.
