Beta Alpha Psi Chapter Reboot Program for Fall 2021

Welcome back!

As the fall semester begins, many BAP chapters will be able to resume meeting in-person and we are encouraging chapters to consider the following suggestions to reboot your chapter programs:

1. Consider a hybrid model for 2021-2022 – Allow flexibility for both virtual and in-person meetings. Ideas for virtual professional and service activities and for creating an online presence for your chapter here.
