Thanks To Our Alumni

Thanks to the generous support of our many BDIC alumni, BDIC has been able to give many students scholarships to study abroad or to afford the work on scholastic projects; we have been able to continue the newly created Alumni Series through which many wonderful alumni are able to visit BDIC and meet with our current students; and we were finally able to puchase three new computers for staff and lease a new, much-needed copier.
