What makes a university program unforgettable? In the opening episode of this five-part series in the podcast Buddhist Studies Footnotes, former BPMH Director and Buddhist Studies professor Frances Garrett introduces the Buddhism, Psychology, and Mental Health (BPMH) program not through institutional history, but through the voices of the students whose lives it transformed. As students describe finding an intellectual home where neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and Buddhist Studies could finally be explored together, a portrait emerges of a rare academic community built on mentorship, curiosity, and belonging. But just as listeners come to understand what made the program unique, they discover that new students were suddenly prevented from joining it. The story begins not with a closure, but with a question: what happens when a university fails to recognize the communities it has created?
