Basic Skills Initiative (BSI)

The Basic Skills Initiative (BSI) is a collaborative statewide effort to address the needs of community college students who are academically under-prepared to succeed in their coursework. We invite everyone at De Anza to join in this institutional effort to assist students in reaching their goals.

Sincerely,

Michele Le Bleu-Burns (Campus Co-Chair)  & Gregory Anderson (Campus Co-Chair)
