Bard CCE: Year in Review

The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE), now in its 13th 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. Last year 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.
