Bard CCE: 2018 in Review

The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE), now in its eighth year of operation, is firmly positioned as both a connector of programs and as a partner with them in community action. CCE has established strong ties with local, national, and international partners in order to address pressing community needs. In 2018 CCE staff, together with the Bard community and area partners, worked to assess Bard’s civic assets and look for areas of growth, renewal, and change. 

Our objectives:
1. Prepare educated and engaged citizens
2. Strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility
3. Enrich scholarship, research, and creative activity
4. Enhance curriculum, teaching, and learning
5. Impact critical societal issues

Civic Engagement by the Numbers

The Trustee Leader Scholar Program (TLS) is an incubator for students with big ideas who are committed to civic action.
