BSC students love living in Birmingham—and BSC alumni are
helping make the city a better place. Take Glenny Brock ’99,
(pictured below) who is leading the campaign to restore the
historic Lyric Theatre in the city’s downtown.
She’s not the only one: from digital CEOs to the director
of the award-winning Railroad Park, from groundbreaking
restaurateurs and artists to the medical professionals
who keep residents healthy, BSC graduates go on
to do great things in Birmingham and beyond.

magic
You’ll love Birmingham as much as we do. Living here
means all the fun of a big city plus great opportunities
for internships, mentorships, job shadowing, and cultural
activities. One day, you’ll be ziplining at Red Mountain
Park or meeting friends for a concert; the next, you can be
getting critical experience for your future career or learning
from the BSC alumni who make the city tick.
The Magic City, that is!
