What does this have to do with me?
The BDLA is one of your best resources as a College of Business student for making connections and developing “diversity” smarts. Through BDLA, you’ll meet other students with the same major, background, and interests as well as those with different backgrounds and interests who will create a richer undergraduate life for you. BDLA gives you a view of the College from the students’ perspective and helps you develop relationships that will last long past commencement day.

How does BDLA develop its members as leaders?
