Restoring Purpose
Through Liberal Education
The Chang Chavkin Center for Liberal Education and Civic Life at Bard College is leading a movement to revitalize colleges and universities by restoring liberal education to the heart of the undergraduate curriculum.
The Chang Chavkin Center brings together programs and institutions committed to a shared vision of liberal learning and works to promote this vision among faculty and leadership at colleges and universities across the country.
Faculty Development
We support educators who are making this vision a reality by creating opportunities to connect, convene, and collaborate.
Student Engagement
We are the home of a national network of campus-based residential programs for high school students from under-resourced communities that introduce them to liberal education and support their successful transition to and through college.
Advancing Liberal Education
We promote this model of learning by advancing research that shows the positive impacts of liberal education, and providing resources for educators.
