Letter from BDCS President
The BDC program offers a unique experience by immersing you in research and business fundamentals while seamlessly integrating themes from each course. Youβll become familiar with the faces around you through the small program size and numerous group projects and presentations. As important as it is to become acquainted with your books and notes, I highly recommend reaching out and connecting with your peers to build a tight-knit community. Also, connect with your mentors to learn from their experiences and connect with your professors because theyβre some of the most understanding faculty on campus. Best of luck on your journey this year!
-President Matthew Liu
