The mission of ASUA BDC is to provide a supplemental introduction to the University of Arizona for incoming freshmen. This is a completely student-run program that will occur each summer.

BDC involves hundreds of current and incoming students and many members of U of A faculty and staff who volunteer their time to empower, teach and aid the freshmen's transition into the university community. BDC will not only provide necessary survival tools, but also give the students an opportunity to cultivate relationships with other students and faculty early in their college career. Additionally, contact will be kept with the freshmen campers to evaluate their progress and success during their first year at the university. Freshmen retention and success rates are important priorities for large campuses such as ours, this camp has a potential to grow into an integral part of the orientation of each incoming freshman to the university experience.
