Fall 2019 Class Schedule

Weekly Classes
All BAM's classes are FREE for club members (become a club member here!) and are held in the School of Public Health (SPH) Gymnasium (Room 2101). The schedule and descriptions of the classes we offer are listed in the tables below. Classes start after the first look fair on Friday, Sept. 13th.
