Description

Blacks at Microsoft (BAM) is committed to the Microsoft mission of helping people realize their full potential. BAM works to align with the Microsoft Corporate Citizenship goals by continuing to build relationships with potential customers and future Microsoft employees. This event is for high school students from ALL ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS. This year we have room for 100 students and it is first come first serve.
 
One of BAM's key commitments is to continually reach out to the external communities and showcase Microsoft’s technology and people in order to help others reach their full potential. As part of this commitment, BAM hosts an annual Minority Student Day (BMSD), now in its 27th year. The goal of the event is to provide Fargo-Moorhead students from underrepresented backgrounds with information about the exciting tools, resources, and career opportunities available to them in technology. Throughout the day, Microsoft employees guide students through hands-on technology labs and information sessions. Employees also serve as mentors, talking with students about the wide variety of career opportunities available to them in technology. 
 
We are excited to announce this year BAM will be awarding one High School Senior student a scholarship towards schooling expenses in the fall! Please see attached document for more details.
