Fall 2014 Southern

fall 2014 / 19

FEATURES

While many first-year students may be the first in their families to ever

step foot on the Birmingham-Southern campus, the college is proud

that each year a considerable number of children, grandchildren, and

great-grandchildren of alumni are among the new students who’ve

enrolled.

These are legacy students, like Leonie Fay of Franklin, Tenn., for

whom spending four years on the Hilltop is a family tradition.

Leonie is the daughter of Tony Fay ’77 and Jaydie Gamble Fay ’86; the

goddaughter of Angela Sanzotera ’86 and Dr. Howard Day ’83 and

his wife, Sharon; and the granddaughter of Doris Lawler Gamble ’51.

Leonie visited BSC many times over the years with her parents, which

gave her the opportunity to interact with other alumni, students, faculty,

and staff at homecoming and other events. Those impromptu tours left

her with a desire to follow in their footsteps.

These are the other new students fulfilling a family legacy this year:
