The Princeton-based company granted the University $25,000 as part of the Bristol Myers Squibb Science Scholars Program, to be distributed among five different health-focused research projects led by students in the College.

This program allows students to participate in real world research projects alongside professional scientists, experiencing STEM careers first hand. We are thankful that BMS supports our goal to increase quality experiential learning opportunities as we celebrate the courage, knowledge, and perseverance students draw on to thrive in STEM fields, diversifying the future STEM workforce.
