What Should You Write About?
Open Prompt
The mission of BDIS is to inspire, empower and support underrepresented
groups students in the pursuit of STEM careers through platforms that include
knowledge sharing, self-discovery and creating life-balance.
What we do
Through an array of programs and services, BDIS inspires and supports underrepresented groups
throughout their academic training and careers. BDIS exposes young people to STEM disciplines and
encourages underrepresented groups to pursue STEM fields using the encouragement of role models
and support networks, while equipping them with the personal skills needed for success. For college
students, where underrepresented students often feel isolated and discouraged in their field, BDIS
serves a vital role in providing peer-support, camaraderie, and opportunities for growth. For those
working in STEM-related careers, BDIS is a resource for identifying talent and an oasis for idea-sharing
amongst a uniquely-compiled network of peers.
