The Future of Early College: An Interview with Dr. Leon Botstein

The first public, tuition-free Bard High School Early College (BHSEC) opened in Brooklyn in 2001. Today, an entire network of Bard Early Colleges operates in partnership with public school systems to offer students affordable access to higher education in a cohesive, engaging environment. Simultaneously, alternative takes on early college (Early College High Schools, dual enrollment, early entrance) have proliferated across the United States, providing even more opportunities for younger students to earn college credit. In December 2022, the author, Dean of Bard Early College, sat down with Bard College President Leon Botstein to examine how the pandemic made new demands of educators everywhere. Together, they looked ahead to the next two decades of public early college, taking a closer look at some limiting and unexamined assumptions about adolescent education, equity, and inclusion, and predicted the ways Bard Early College can meet the academic, social, and developmental needs of current and future students

Adapting to New Security Realities in a Climate-Disrupted World

On November 26, 2021, Ms. Carol Dumaine, Nonresident Senior Fellow at Atlantic Council, presented Adapting to New Security Realities in a Climate-Disrupted World at the 2021 CASIS West Coast Security Conference. The primary concepts of Ms. Dumaine’s presentation centered on how climate change and the global pandemic are becoming significant issues of national security, and how it is vital that our concept of national security be reframed to understand and address climate change as a security issue. The presentation was followed by a question and answer period and a breakout room session with questions from the audience and CASIS Vancouver executives. &nbsp

Are Students Actually Learning What You Think They Are? An Exploration Into the Educational Outcomes of Course Based Undergraduate Research Labs

It is important to understand whether students are acquiring intended educational objectives. A course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) lab seeks to blend the logistical ease and accessibility of college courses with the educational benefits of research experiences. By employing inquiry-based teaching methods, CURE labs enable students to collaborate in a group setting under the guidance of a faculty member, engaging in hands-on research. This project studies how educational outcomes of CURE labs can be measured. CURE labs may improve anything from technical lab skills, to scientific literacy, to persistence in science. These short-, middle-, and long-term goals may be measured to improve understanding of how these outcomes may best be obtained. While numerous studies demonstrate ways to measure short-term outcomes like content knowledge or technical skills, there are notable gaps in the literature concerning the assessment of more complex outcomes, such as students\u27 capacity to navigate uncertainty or to truly assimilate into scientific culture
