Study groups offer BSP members an opportunity to build community and excel in their classes by studying with other members taking the same STEM courses. Peer Study Group Leaders hold regular study sessions and are eager to provide their group with learning tools, support, and skills.

## Everyone Learns

Both study group participants and leaders benefit—participants learn in a friendly, supportive, and non-competitive environment. Leaders gain a deeper understanding of the material by teaching it to others.

## Join a BSP Study Group

- Master challenging course concepts and materials with fellow BSPers.
- Receive guidance and support from peers who successfully completed the courses.
- Build meaningful relationships with peers who are learning the same material.
- Access study aids for course content and exams.

*"My motivation to become a BSP study group leader stemmed from the inspiration I received from all of the mentors I've received in my life and wanting to be that same medium for other BSPers."*

– **Hasan Ali** | Class of 2009, Integrative Biology | [Air Tutors](https://airtutors.org/) CEO
