    Dear BPS Division Members,

     

    News & Events:

     

    The new BPS website is now available at: www.bpsdiv.org

    The site will continue to evolve (work in progress) as we add content and update features.

    A huge thanks to our Global Technical Director, Raj Echambadi, U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, for his work on this initiative!

     

    BPS Activities in San Antonio:

     

    Saturday, Aug. 13, 6:30-8:30, Meet the BPS Officers & Committee Members Social, Convention Center, Room 006 C&D

    The results of the BPS 5-year review survey suggest that BPS members are interested in learning how to become more involved in the division and/or in learning more about the division's various activities. As a result, this event will include a brief program at 7:00 pm to formally introduce members of the Division's various committees as well as the Division's Officers, EC members, and Global Representatives. Officers and committee members also will be on hand to share information with our members regarding their activities and to answer questions from the members (think of this as a bit like an (informal) career fair model). We hope to see you there!
