Every year, the BSP holds the All Student Meeting (ASM). During this program-wide gathering, staff, existing, and new BSP members (and often BSP alumni!) come together to foster community, interact, and learn from one another. Dr. John Matsui, BSP Director and Co-Founder (above in 2013), kicks off each event with a dynamic and entertaining talk on the program's history, mechanics, and ideals. The BSP's dedicated staff embraces these principles and is here to help BSP members, alumni, and the program as a whole succeed.
