YBDIC -- Yale BBS Diversity and Inclusion Collective
About YBDIC	English (USA)
Welcome to The Yale BBS Diversity and Inclusion Collective (YBDIC)! Here is our listserv that will advertise all our events and General Body Meetings. Looking forward to your participation! YBDIC is committed to fostering the intellectual and personal growth of BBS PhD students from historically underrepresented, marginalized, and disadvantaged backgrounds. Our central mission focuses on a four-pronged approach: engagement, empowerment, outreach, and advancement. The student engagement division aims to increase the representation of diverse scholars in BBS by advancing progressive recruitment initiatives coupled with student outreach to engage the next generation of minority scientists. The student empowerment division tackles the historical legacy of patterns and practices that have led to the exclusion of minoritized students in STEM. Through this division, we aim to both empower minoritized students and address and alleviate historical and psychological burden that comes with being a minority in STEM. Through the appointment of dedicated YBDIC fellows for each track in BBS, we aim to create more inclusive training environments at the department level – and we believe this will culminate into institutional change. The student outreach division focuses on providing access to science education and science communication opportunities and resources, available at Yale and within Yale’s networks, to engage, empower, and advance underrepresented, disadvantaged, and marginalized individuals in the biological and biomedical sciences to increase career readiness. The student advancement division is committed to preparing diverse students in BBS to successfully navigate the next stage of their academic career and transition into non-academic or academic sectors. By creating a dedicated diverse faculty mentoring network and leveraging our alumni relationships, we will be able to provide students with models and mentors as they traverse the next stage of their academic career. Collectively, through the concerted of each branch we aim to foster individual empowerment and lasting institutional change.
