Center for Civic Engagement
cce.bard.eduThe Bard Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) was launched on the Annandale campus in 2011 to unite a wide-ranging group of domestic and international initiatives into a vibrant and coherent network of programs, and in doing so help redefine the core mission of the College. The network is the most intricate and potentially powerful manifestation of Bard’s institutional commitment as a private institution acting in the public interest. Issues of access to and equity in education, criminal justice reform, and the future of open societies drive the Bard network of programs. From groundbreaking partnerships to dual-degree programs with international institutions of higher education and substantial local initiatives, relationships with community partners and institutions are cultivated and maintained, giving credibility to Bard’s belief that education can be a force for freedom and democracy.
CCE coordinates a broad range of initiatives that connect students to internships, volunteer opportunities, community engagement, and activism, and promotes civic skills the College considers fundamental for active citizenship. It does so by tapping into the idealism and vision of its students.
