Passionate volunteers from Bristol Myers Squibb are often out and about in the community promoting the diverse and fascinating careers available within science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). They’re opening eyes, minds and possibilities to those early in their career and students — some even as young as middle school age. Such was the case recently at a Tomorrow’s Innovators STEM event near the BMS New Jersey campus that was particularly meaningful to Julie Meade, Scientific Writer in Global Scientific & Regulatory Documentation with BMS, and her audience, a group of middle school students with disabilities and allies. Hands-on STEM events like this are examples of BMS’s culture and commitment

This is exactly how Project Orion was born—our new fellowship program that creates opportunities for talented individuals who are blind or low vision to find success in their professional lives. “Project Orion is the first of its kind for BMS, and really, our industry,” said Jeremy Urshel, Talent Acquisition Partner & Co-Lead for Project Orion. And with nearly 70 percent of blind or low vision Americans being unemployed or underemployed, we could all do more to support this community by building relationships and providing hands-on
