We Value Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As a campus, we must work towards shared values of diversity and equity that maximize the success and inclusion of all students.  BSI strives to make science a more welcoming and inclusive space where everyone has the opportunity to bring their diverse perspectives to solving the scientific challenges of our time.

BSI Scholars Program

BSI Scholars in STEM Undergraduate Research

Evidence shows that participating in research as an undergraduate enhances the educational experience of CU students, and is particularly important to the development of science students. 

BSI Scholars is a funding and professional development program for current CU Boulder undergraduates.

BSI Schoar Ambassadors

BSI Scholar Ambassadors

This team of current undergraduate researchers is here to help.  

If you are a CU Boulder undergraduate looking for some help getting started or want to learn more about the benefits of doing research, then meet with an Ambassador. 

Online appointments are now available.

CU Diversity and Inclusion message
