Daily Meet-up Interested in making new acquaintances and experiencing the cuisine of Los Angeles? Meet at the Society Booth each evening, Sunday through Tuesday, at 5:30 pm where a BPS member will coordinate dinner at a local restaurant. Undergraduate Student Lounge Undergraduates can utilize the student lounge for a place to relax or catch up on coursework being missed while at the Annual Meeting.
