“My Uncle Mark had a way of laughing and smiling through the pain,” she says. “He taught my sister and I how to be resilient in our weakness. My world was shaken by his loss.

On Tuesday, Oct. 4, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Merrill v. Milligan, a case about whether Alabama’s recently enacted congressional map violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Did you know the case has two BSC connections? While Merrill refers to Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, Milligan refers to Evan Milligan ’03, executive director of Alabama Forward, a statewide civic engagement table advancing efforts of nonpartisan organizations to expand the voter base, protect voting rights, and increase the accessibility of election systems. Arguing the state's case was Edmund LaCour '07, who was appointed Solicitor General of Alabama in May 2019. Milligan appeared on CBS Mornings earlier this week:

In its 31st annual "Best Colleges" rankings lists released today, The Princeton Review has named BSC one of the best colleges and universities in the Southeast, in no small part due to faculty.
"Professors get high marks across the board. Students say, 'The professors here make BSC what it is” and add, 'They’re always willing to help you out and meet with you if you need extra help. They make the academic experience here completely fabulous and well worth the hard work you have to put into your studies.' Academic standards are considered rigorous, and students say BSC 'demands the best from the professors and the best from the students. The faculty is fantastic, and the campus is beautiful.'"
