National recognition for quality academics at an affordable price. A campus community committed to leadership and service. Academic programs honored by the nation’s premier accrediting agencies. A dedicated and talented faculty. Bright and caring students, determined to make the world a better place in which to live. Generous and consistent support from alumni and other supporters. Graduates who are proving the value of a liberal arts education. Student-athletes who are winning on the field and in the classroom. These are vital signs of an institution of higher learning on the move. These are vital signs of one of the nation’s most recognized liberal arts colleges positioned for even greater achievements in the 21st century. These are just a few of the vital signs that you will read about in this 2001-2002 Annual Report.

Another important vital sign of a college on the move is the quality of its physical plant. Over the past quarter century, the Birmingham-Southern campus has been transformed. Thanks to generous contributions from alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations, some 18 of the college’s 36 facilities/structures either have been constructed, expanded, or renovated since 1976. The result is an almost new campus, equipped to offer the best total educational experience possible. In the past year, we have dedicated a new 100,000 square-foot science center, broken ground on a new Fraternity Row, reconfigured a male residence hall to suite-style living, and begun renovation to convert our former science facility into a Humanities Center to accommodate the academic needs of that area. You will read more about these facilities elsewhere in this Annual Report. To give you a better sense of the campus transformation that has taken place, some of the facilities or structures that have been constructed, expanded, or renovated in the past 25 years—including a new campus center, fitness center, and bell tower all dedicated since 1999—are highlighted at the bottom of the pages throughout the design of this publication. We hope that you enjoy this year’s Annual Report, and we are confident that you will agree that the many vital signs presented on the pages that follow are a collective indicator of our continued success as a national leader and innovator in liberal arts education.

Birmingham-Southern again named one of America’s ‘Best Buys’

Over the past quarter century, BirminghamSouthern has emerged as one of the most respected private liberal arts colleges in the country. Today, the college is recognized not only for its quality academics, but also for its affordability. For the second year in a row, BirminghamSouthern is among 22 private colleges and universities nationwide named as a “Best Buy” in The Fiske Guide to Colleges. Twenty-two private and 21 public institutions were cited for the “quality of the academic offerings in relation to the cost of attendance.” “In the face of today’s skyrocketing tuition rates, students and families in all economic circumstances are looking for ways to get the best value for their education dollar,” wrote the guide’s editors. “Fortunately, there are some bargains to be found in higher education . . . institutions that offer remarkable educational opportunities at a relatively modest cost.” Among the institutions included as “Best Buys” are Baylor University, Brigham Young University, Centre College, Rice University, Stetson University, Trinity University, and University of Richmond. Birmingham-Southern was the only school in the state that was selected. The Fiske Guide to Colleges is an annual publication designed as an information resource for collegebound students and their parents. According to the Fiske Guide, this year’s edition includes descriptive essays on some 300 of the country’s “best and most

William and Julia Edwards Bell Tower Dedicated 1999 Located on the academic quadrangle, the 85 foot-tall Edwards Bell Tower is the centerpiece of the BirminghamSouthern campus. The tower’s four bronze bells provide traditional Westminster clock chimes on the hour, and the electronic carillon can play 150 musical selections.

interesting” colleges and universities that collegebound students most want to know about. Special emphasis is placed on academic quality in the selection of colleges and universities for inclusion. The Fiske Guide is edited by Edward B. Fiske, former education editor of The New York Times. For eight straight years, Birmingham-Southern has been ranked among America’s best national liberal arts colleges by U.S. News & World Report. In 1987, the magazine ranked the college as the No. 1 Regional Liberal Arts College in the South Region.

The following year, Birmingham-Southern was elevated to the Liberal Arts College—Bachelor’s category, the top category a liberal arts institution can attain in the magazine’s annual rankings. Since then, the college’s ranking has continued to improve from Tier IV to its current Tier II ranking, placing it among the top 114 liberal arts colleges in the nation. U.S. News also has ranked the college as the most efficiently operated school in the nation and as one of the top 10 best values in America. The college is one of 100 schools nationwide on The John Templeton Foundation’s Honor Roll for programs that emphasize character building as an integral part of the college experience. BirminghamSouthern has been on the Honor Roll every year since its inception. Birmingham-Southern is listed as one of “100 Best Values in Private Colleges” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, highlighted for the excellent job it does in providing financial support for students of high academic, musical, and artistic ability. For six consecutive years, Birmingham-Southern has been included among “America’s Best Christian Colleges” by Institutional Research and Evaluation Inc.

The college has been included among “America’s Most Wired Colleges” by Yahoo! Internet Life magazine for meeting the computer needs of its students. Birmingham-Southern also is recognized as one of the nation’s top 30 colleges by The Washington Times, as well as in Loren Pope’s 40 Colleges That Change Lives, The Princeton Review’s Best 345 Colleges, Choosing the Right College: The Whole Truth About America’s Top Schools, and Best 201 Colleges for the Real World. Each year, BirminghamSouthern ranks No. 1 in Alabama and among the nation’s best in percentage of all graduates accepted to medical, dental, or health career programs. In the past five years, 198 graduates have been admitted to medical, dental, or other health career graduate programs. The college ranks high nationally in graduates accepted to law school, with 159 graduates admitted to accredited law schools in the past five years. Birmingham-Southern also has a distinguished record of job placement and admission to other graduate and professional schools.

Franklin W. Olin Computer Science/ Mathematics Center Dedicated 1984 Olin is the center of the college’s campus computing, including three computer labs for students. Also houses classrooms, labs, and offices for the Math and Computer Science departments.

Campus Community

First ‘Camp College’ aids first-generation college hopefuls

Leadership and service are two of the major components of the Birmingham-Southern mission of providing a liberal arts education of distinctive quality. Therefore, it is no surprise that the college plays an integral role each year in the welfare of the local Birmingham community, the state of Alabama, and indeed the country and the world. One such role was the state’s first-ever Camp College held on campus in July 2002. More than 40 Alabama high school students with dreams of becoming the first members of their families to attend college got a head start on making those dreams come true during this innovative event. Funded by a $17,500 grant approved by Gov. Don Siegelman, Camp College 2002 brought the high school students from 12 central Alabama counties to the Birmingham-Southern campus for three days of learning what it takes to get into college and then how to pay for it once they get there. Camp College was the first such summer camp of its kind in Alabama, with a goal to increase the number of first-generation students who will attend and graduate from college, as well as to broaden the diversity of student populations at all Alabama institutions of higher learning. Camp College 2002 was free to invited participants. The participating students learned about the academic options available to them after high school, how to use various resources to search for the right college, all about the admission process, how to pay for college, and what college life is all about by living in a residence hall, meeting in classrooms, visiting a college library, and interacting with faculty and students.

Participants also were partnered with volunteer mentors from the Birmingham business community. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist George Will presented the college’s N.E. Miles Judaic Studies and Middle Eastern Culture Lecture on campus in September 2001. Will spoke on “Israel: Understanding its Past, Thinking about its Future.” George J. Mitchell, the retired U.S. Senator and one-time Senate majority leader from Maine, was the keynote speaker for the college’s 143rd commencement ceremonies in May 2002. He addressed a crowd of more than 4,000, which included 339 bachelor’s and master’s degree candidates.

College Theatre Renovated 1999, 2001 Recent renovation projects greatly enhanced the College Theatre, including new seating in the 334-seat Large Theatre, which is equipped with a split-revolve-lift stage for a variety of set designs. Theatre One, located below, provides an intimate “black box” environment for smaller productions. Also housed in the building are makeup rooms, dressing rooms, classrooms, and faculty offices.

Nancy Evans, co-founder and editor-in-chief of iVillage.com, the nation’s largest website for women, delivered the annual Honors Day Convocation address in April 2002. Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for International Development at Harvard University, presented the Evans 2002 B.A. Monaghan Lecture in Economics in March. Best-selling author Anne Rivers Siddons was the Grand Master of the 22nd annual Writing Today conference on campus in April 2002. Evans and best-selling author Barbara Taylor Bradford are serving as co-chairs of the college’s GALA XVI celebration scheduled for May 1-2, 2003. GALA is a biennial event that recognizes women of achievement from around the world and showcases the talent of Birmingham-Southern students to support scholarBradford ships in the college’s Division of Fine and Performing Arts. The college took the lead in sponsoring, along with local businesses and organizations, a citywide Service of Remembrance and Reconciliation on Sept. 11, 2002, to remember all those affected by the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C.

Dr. Parker Palmer, author of Let Your Life Speak and senior associate of the American Association of Higher Education, was keynote speaker. Palmer also spent a day on campus meeting with faculty and students. Palmer

Birmingham-Southern presented four individuals with Honorary Degrees in 2002 in recognition of distinguished careers and service to the college. Ruby Ansley of Birmingham, owner of Ruby Ansley Interiors; William J. “Bill” Edwards of North Palm Beach, Fla., retired broadcasting executive; and Clay C. Long of Atlanta, attorney, founding partner, and chairman with Long, Aldridge, & Norman LLP, received Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees, and Bishop Larry M. Goodpaster of Montgomery, bishop of the Alabama-West Florida Area of The United Methodist Church, received an Honorary Doctor of Divinity degree Birmingham-Southern received a $48,750 3M 2002 Vision Grant to create a Storm Water Management and Restoration of Terrain Project that it hopes ultimately will assist with water problems for area residents. Only six colleges nationwide received 3M grants. SMART is an innovative environmental model that will support students as they learn more about water quality issues by working on an on-campus storm water demonstration site.

Sorority Townhouses and Honors House Dedicated 1991 Each of these 4,950 square-foot, three-level townhouses includes living space for eight women from six of the college’s national sororities. Students from the Honors Program share another townhouse with the seventh sorority chapter.

Academics

Birmingham-Southern joins select group with national business accreditation Birmingham-Southern’s undergraduate and graduate degree business programs achieved accreditation in April 2002 by AACSB International—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB International is recognized as the premier accrediting agency for business schools. Birmingham-Southern joined a select group of other national liberal arts colleges in receiving the accreditation. The college is one of only six baccalaureate-liberal arts institutions in the country as classified by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to hold both AACSB International accreditation and the designation of Phi Beta Kappa. To achieve accreditation, business programs must satisfy the expectations of a wide range of quality standards relating to curriculum, faculty resources, admissions, degree requirement, library and computer facilities, financial resources, and intellectual climate that all are mission-linked. The Peer Review Team for AACSB International visited and evaluated Birmingham-Southern for three days in March 2002 as part of the accreditation process. In its report, AACSB International commended the college’s Division of Business and Graduate

Programs for its high level of selectivity in the admission of undergraduate students; Master of Arts in Public and Private Management degree which attracts a diverse population of motivated, high-quality graduate students; faculty reputation for highquality and student-centered instruction and efforts to continually improve teaching and learning; being an integral part of the mission of the college; required undergraduate business capstone course offered during the January Interim period with options for international study/travel, as well as exposure to an array of business industries; cooperative support provided by its Norton Board of Advisors, the central administration, alumni, and the business community; and attractive campus and well-maintained facility. Birmingham-Southern offers undergraduate majors in accounting, business administration, and economics, as well as the Master of Arts in Public and Private Management graduate degree. The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education has continued accreditation of Birmingham-Southern’s professional education program for the next five years. The program will not receive another NCATE on-site reaccreditation review until spring 2006. The college continues preparations for reaccreditation review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, with the on-site visit by the SACS review team scheduled for spring 2004. The 2001-02 academic year at Birmingham-Southern saw the college operate under a new plan for general

Edward L. and Corinne Norton Campus Center Dedicated 1999 The 95,000 square-foot facility is the “heart” of activity on campus, housing a food court, post office, bookstore, theatre, ballroom, computer lab, conference rooms, lounges, and other gathering places, as well as offices for several student-oriented college divisions.

education. Known simply as Foundations, this innovative core curriculum expands the college’s liberal arts mission to address the talents and skills needed to be successful in an increasingly complex and technological society by building upon such strengths as quality academics, collaborative learning, internships, non-traditional teaching, technology use, community involvement, service learning, and values and character development, among other things. Because of security concerns, the college’s January 2002 Interim Term took on a slightly different look. Even though trips to certain parts of the world were cancelled, students still were able to travel to Chili and San Francisco on traditional service-learning missions. Individualized interims consisted of everything from dog sledding in the Minnesota winter to teaching art to young girls in Mexico. Almost 100 specialized Interim courses were offered on campus and focused on everything from predicting the next generation of political leaders to examining cancer development, eradication, and prevention. The Birmingham-Southern production of Hamlet: The Musical was selected to compete in Region IV of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in February 2002. Professor of Theatre Michael Flowers, who directed Hamlet: The Musical, was invited to represent Region IV of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre at the national festival in April 2002 at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

He directed one of the plays in the 10-minute play competition.

A $170,721 National Science Foundation grant funded a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer for the college’s new Stephens Science Center. The NMR, designed to study the structure of molecules, is being used with investigative, problem-based laboratories and independent research in the chemistry program and providing students with additional opportunities to get hands-on experience with advanced instrumentation. Associate Professors of Chemistry Drs. David Schedler and Laura Stultz submitted the grant proposal. A $30,000 National Science Foundation grant is creating a new student-centered computer classroom for the college’s mathematics program, which will include 21 networked computers and visualization tools that will complement an interactive learning environment. The college’s math faculty submitted the grant proposal.

Lee and Nancy Bruno Residence Hall Dedicated 1990 Serves as living quarters for 200 women. This structure is best described as a “Living-Learning Center” featuring 50 suites; computer, cable television, and telephone cabling for each bedroom; and its own computer lab linked to the campus mainframe.

Faculty

A college distinguished by a dedicated and talented faculty

The Birmingham-Southern College missions states that, “The college is distinguished by a dedicated faculty.” Not only are the college’s 106 faculty members dedicated, they are talented and highly respected as well, with 92 percent of them holding a doctorate or the highest degree in their field. A cornerstone of the college’s academic experience is the close interaction between students and faculty. With a 12-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, students get the individual attention that makes the educational experience so rewarding.

It’s not uncommon for professors to invite a group of students to their home for dinner, to meet to discuss a paper over coffee, or to hold evening study sessions. BSC students also collaborate with faculty on research projects, which often lead to scholarly presentations or publications on the regional and national levels. The Princeton Review’s Best 345 Colleges for 2003 supports the importance of the college’s faculty members. According to the college guide, students say that the faculty members are one of the main reasons they attend Birmingham-Southern. One student commented, “I will say the professors and faculty at Birmingham-Southern College are wonderful. They are receptive and welcoming. I believe the majority strive to make the students’ years beneficial, educational, and enjoyable.” Yet another said, “The teachers are really part of what goes on here. They don’t just show up for the lecture time and then disappear.” Faculty Scholarship Since 1997 Books Papers Journal Articles Performances Art Exhibits Commissioned Works Recordings Grants Received

Students

College welcomes another large class of first-year students for 147th academic year

Birmingham-Southern began its 147th academic year in August 2002 by welcoming nearly 400 new students to campus. Some 340 freshman and 46 transfer students from 19 states and two foreign countries attended classes when the 2002 fall term began. It was the second largest freshman class in 13 years; the fall 2001 first-year class was the largest in college history. Total college enrollment exceeded 1,380 students in classes with a 12-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio. The student body represents 27 states and 16 foreign countries. The freshman class brought with it an average grade-point average of 3.56. The first-year class included 20 valedictorians and 10 National Merit Finalists, bringing to 47 the total of National Merit Finalists on the Birmingham-Southern campus. The college welcomed its new freshmen to campus with the traditional â&#x20AC;&#x153;Move-In Day.â&#x20AC;? The new students, including transfer students, spent a Saturday morning moving into their residence hall rooms with the help of returning students. An introduction to the campus and

Philanthropy

Science on Display newest addition Philanthropic efforts help transform the Birmingham-Southern campus

Over the past quarter century, the BirminghamSouthern campus has been transformed. Since 1976, 18 of the college’s 36 facilities/structures either have been constructed, expanded, or renovated to result in an almost new campus prepared and equipped for the 21st century. Much of this transformation is the result of generous support from alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations. The most recent of these transformations opened in May 2002 with dedication of the 100,000 square-foot, $25.1 million Elton B. Stephens Science Center. The state-of-the-art facility, which houses classrooms, laboratories, and support areas for biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and environmental science, was made possible through a $15 million gift from Elton B. Stephens and James T. Stephens of Birmingham, along with contributions from other individuals, corporations, and foundations. The Stephenses’ contribution included a $5 million challenge gift. Elton Stephens, a 1932 graduate of BirminghamSouthern and life member of its Board of Trustees, is chairman of the board and founder of EBSCO Industries Inc. His son, James Stephens, is president of EBSCO and vice chairman of the college’s Board of Trustees.

Charles Andrew Rush Learning Center/ N. E. Miles Library Dedicated 1976 The Charles Andrew Rush Learning Center/N. E. Miles Library houses a collection of more than 240,000 items selected to support instruction and research, in addition to an auditorium, conference rooms, the foreign language laboratory, and a media center, among other areas to support the academic and information needs of faculty and students.

The facility was planned around the college’s science mission to foster collaborative, hands-on learning between students and faculty, interdisciplinary connections, and undergraduate research opportunities. The flexible design can be reconfigured to accommodate changing laboratory and space needs, existing and future teaching methods, and new technologies. The building’s focal point is a three-story atrium area that puts Science on Display in laboratories that open onto a common area. There are 25 faculty offices, 25 research laboratories, 19 teaching laboratories, a computer lab, three lecture halls and three classrooms which are wired for computer-assisted instruction, two seminar rooms, a greenhouse, and some 1,100 data port connections for laptop computers. During the planning process, Arthur J. Lidsky, a facilities planning consultant who has participated in the review and design of science facilities across the nation, said “Upon completion, the Elton B. Stephens Science Center will be one of the finest examples of undergraduate science buildings in the country.”

Birmingham-Southern has raised more than $52 million toward the $58 million goal of Phase II of its 21st Century Campaign, the largest fund-raising effort in the institution’s 147-year history. The money raised in Phase II, which began in May 1999, funded the Stephens Science Center and will be used to renovate the current Phillips Science Building into a Humanities Center, as well as provide support for scholarships and the endowment, athletic facilities, library enhancements, and technology. Phase II also is funding the new under-construction Fraternity Row on campus. Phase I of the campaign began in 1995 and reached its $75 million goal in May 1999, well ahead of the January 2000 deadline. Money raised during Phase I is funding the endowment, physical plant and capital improvements, current programs, and unrestricted needs. Phase II campaign contributions will be used to help fund a $4.3 million renovation project begun in June 2002 to convert the Phillips Science Building into a Humanities Center to accommodate the academic needs of the college’s Division of Humanities. A substantial contribution from Charles W. “Bill” Daniel and Lyndra Daniel of Birmingham allowed for North Residence Hall—now known as The Bill and Lyndra Daniel Residence Hall—to be renovated and reconfigured into three- and four-bedroom suites for 67 male students. Bill Daniel, founder and president of Dantract Inc., has been a member of the Birmingham-Southern Board of Trustees since 1981. Lyndra Daniel served as one of the first chairs of Birmingham-Southern’s Arts Council and is a longtime member the college’s GALA Committee. New houses for Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Theta Chi have opened on the college’s new Fraternity Row. Construction also is under way on the houses for Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, and Sigma Nu.

Construction for the new house for Sigma Chi will begin once that fraternity completes efforts to raise construction costs. The projected costs of the houses are being covered by private contributions and by loans, which will be amortized over 30 years based on revenues from room rents. Gifts to the college’s Parents Fund during the 200102 academic year supported the new Elton B. Stephens Science Center. An area within the center was designated in recognition of the BirminghamSouthern parents who pledged or contributed more than $25,000 to the fund. The Judge U. W. Clemon Endowed Honors PreLaw Scholarship was established by the college to honor the Chief Judge of the Northern District of Alabama for his exemplary service to Birmingham and the state of Alabama. The fund will aid deserving minority students who are pre-law majors. The Bibb Allen Endowed Honors Pre-Law Scholarship was established at the college to honor the longtime Birmingham attorney and BSC alumnus and to assist outstanding students with a demonstrated financial need who plan to enter law school upon graduation. Birmingham-Southern initiated The Ginkgo Society donor club in 2002 to recognize those alumni and others for consecutive years of giving to the college. The society is named after the ginkgo trees which adorn the campus and which are a symbol of longevity and of hope.

Bruno Entrance/Security Station Dedicated 1987 The Bruno Entrance/Security Station is the only entrance to campus and is home to the college’s Campus Police, who secure the campus 24-hours-aday, seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year.

Alumni

Proving the value of a liberal arts education For 147 years, Birmingham-Southern has been providing a well-rounded and quality liberal arts educational experience that has prepared thousands of men and women for bright and productive futures, to be lifelong and participatory learners and leaders, to be active and successful in their careers and communities, and to be individuals who better understand and help shape the world around them. The true value of a liberal arts education is that it prepares graduates for just about any road they choose to travel. Just ask members of the Class of 2002, the newest alumni of Birmingham-Southern College. Following Commencement in May 2002, the college’s new graduates headed in many diverse directions. Some of the roads they are traveling include:

Kirstin Anderson, a music education major from Nashville, Tenn., who took over the music education program at St. Aloysius School in Harlem, N.Y., in fall 2002 as part of an arrangement between BSC and the school that was initiated in 2000 by a contribution from alumna Beverly Hosokawa and her husband, David.

Intercollegiate Athletics

Student-athletes succeed on the playing fields and in the classroom In August 1999, Birmingham-Southern announced that it was moving from the NAIA to the NCAA Division I level in athletic competition. The most asked question at the time was what impact would such a bold move have on one of the nation’s top academic institutions. “We wouldn’t make this move if we couldn’t continue the tradition of a very strong academic emphasis to our athletic program,” said Birmingham-Southern president Dr. Neal R. Berte at the time. President Berte’s words ring prophetic today as the college is entering its final year of transition to NCAA Division I and its student-athletes are performing at a championship level both on the playing fields and courts and in the classroom. In the March 2002 issue of U.S. News & World Report, Birmingham-Southern’s 76 percent graduation rate for student-athletes ranked No. 40 among the nation’s 303 NCAA Division I institutions. The next highest institution of higher learning in Alabama was ranked No. 151. For the spring 2002 semester alone, 100 of the college’s 171 student-athletes earned a 3.0 or higher grade-point average, or 58.5 percent, and 98 studentathletes carry a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA. Nine students from nine different sports were named 2001-02 Big South Conference ScholarAthletes. Three members of the rifle squad were

named to the 2002 All-Academic Honor Team by the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association. The college’s volleyball team was one of just 47 NCAA Division I programs honored with the 2001 American Volleyball Coaches ssociation/Molten Team Academic Award, which recognizes those volleyball programs that achieve at least a 3.30 grade-point average during the academic year. BSC’s 3.39 team GPA for 2001-02 was the 24th best among NCAA Division I volleyball programs. “Our student-athletes’ academic performance demonstrates that it is possible to have a strong, competitive athletic program and for these students to also perform well academically,” said Joe Dean Jr., Birmingham-Southern’s director of athletics. “This success comes about not only because of the hard work in the classroom by our student-athletes, but also because of the cooperation and support by the faculty and staff on our campus.” Birmingham-Southern unveiled four new varsity sports in 2001-02. Coach Randy Youngblood’s rifle team finished 19-17, including a win in its firstever home match, the BSC Rifle Invitational, a second-place finish at the Ole Miss Invitational, and a 10th place finish at the NCAA Sectionals. Coach Tyra Perry’s women’s softball squad finished 5-7 in conference play including two wins over Big South Conference champion Liberty and an upset over regionally ranked Jacksonville State. Coach Tom

Miller’s women’s golf team won the third tournament it competed in, the Jacksonville State University Gamecock Fall Classic in Jacksonville.

Miller’s men’s team carded a fourth-place finish at the Lipscomb University Fall Classic in Nashville, Tenn., and junior Stephen Fike from Pelham finished second at the Big South Conference Championship. In other sports, the Panther squads held their own during the year against Big South Conference competition, although the teams won’t be recognized in conference standings until 2003. Men’s basketball finished with a 6-6 conference record and women’s basketball finished 16-11 overall and 9-6 in conference play; women’s soccer went undefeated in league play at 5-0-1, while men’s soccer was 4-4 in conference play; women’s tennis finished 15-4 overall, including a 6-1 mark against conference opponents, and men’s tennis posted a 13-6 record, including 4-3 against Big South opponents; and volleyball ended the season 8-8 against Big South competition. The baseball team, in its first full season of NCAA Division I play, finished 32-20 for its 12th straight winning season. The men’s and women’s cross-country squads finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in the Big South Conference meet. Michael Metz was named head men’s tennis coach in March 2002, after spending nine years as a standout player and an assistant coach at Mississippi State University.

Epilogue

Students rate Birmingham-Southern experience high in national engagement, satisfaction surveys The past quarter century has been a time of transformation at Birmingham-Southern, a period that has seen an almost new campus arise from the Hilltop just west of Birmingham, Alabama. The past year has been yet another period of positive movement for one of the nation’s most respected liberal arts colleges—a period that continues to position Birmingham-Southern for even greater achievements in the 21st century. Exceptional students are the cornerstone of the Birmingham-Southern success. Engaging these young men and women in a liberal arts education is an integral part of the college’s mission and at the forefront of the institution’s continual efforts to provide the best total educational experience possible. How effective the college is in engaging these students, as well as their satisfaction with their college experiences, are important factors in assessing whether Birmingham-Southern is fulfilling its mission of providing a liberal arts education of distinctive quality. The results of two recent surveys highlight the college’s efforts in these areas. For the first time in spring 2001, BirminghamSouthern participated in the National Survey of Student Engagement, which assesses the extent to which undergraduates at four-year colleges engage in a variety of “good educational practices.” Seniors and first-year students responded to the survey concerning college activities, academic emphasis and

Bill and Lyndra Daniel Residence Hall Dedicated 2002 Constructed in 1957 as North Residence Hall, this facility is now known as the Bill and Lyndra Daniel Residence Hall after a $2.5 million renovation and reconfiguration project transformed the living spaces to three- and four-bedroom suites housing 67 male students. Each suite includes a private bathroom and a common living area, and the facility houses a computer laboratory.

programs, time management, and overall satisfaction with the college experience. The results were then compared with other Baccalaureate-Liberal Arts Colleges and then with all 321 institutions participating in the survey. Among the areas where Birmingham-Southern firstyear students and seniors were significantly above average when compared to other Liberal Arts institutions and to all participating institutions were: working with other students on academic projects outside of class and contributing to the welfare of the community. Among the areas where the two student groups were significantly above average when compared to all participating institutions were: talking about career plans with a faculty member or advisor, quality of academic advising received, thinking critically and analytically, spending significant amounts of time studying and on academic work, receiving the support needed to succeed academically, receiving the support needed to succeed socially, and overall educational experience.

Challenged by examinations to do their best work was an area where first-year students were significantly above average when compared to other Liberal Arts institutions and to all participating institutions. Working on a paper or project that required integrating ideas or information from various sources and relationships with administrative personnel and offices were two areas where first-year students were significantly above average when compared to all participating institutions. Using computing and information technology was an area where senior students were significantly above average when compared to other Liberal Arts institutions and to all participating institutions. When compared to all participating institutions, the seniors were significantly above average in the areas of: asking questions in class or contributing to class discussions, discussing ideas from readings or classes with faculty members outside of class, receiving prompt feedback from faculty on academic perform-

ance, working with faculty members on activities other than coursework, participating in co-curricular activities, acquiring a broad general education, and learning effectively on their own. The college also annually administers the ACT’s Student Opinion Survey to gather feedback on college services, the campus environment, and other areas. In the most recent survey completed in spring 2001, the college improved in several areas, including a 4.46 score out of a possible 5.00 on the question “out-of-class availability of instructors,” which was almost half a point above the national private school average, and a 4.45 out of 5.00 for “attitude of faculty toward students,” which was almost a third of a point above the national private school average. The college continues to receive outstanding marks for personal security/safety on campus, availability of student housing, religious activities and programs, opportunity for involvement in campus activities, concern for students as individuals, class size, classroom facilities, availability of financial aid before enrolling, instruction in academic major, athletic facilities, computer services, and bookstore, among others. In total, the college’s students responded significantly more positively than the national private school average in 33 of 44 categories.
