Approximately two-thirds of full-time faculty members hold a Ph.D. in their discipline, and all permanent, full-time faculty are certified by the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education. Some college electives are taught by adjunct faculty. The student to faculty ratio is 15:1, with an average class size between 22 and 25.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div

Outside of Bard \u2013 where she currently teaches Algebra 1 \u2013 she can be found spending time with her dog, searching for treasures at thrift and antique stores, watching anything Shonda Rhimes creates, or taking spin classes.<\/p>\n                            <button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n                                <span aria-hidden=\"true\">&times;<\/span>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- end modal -->\n    <!-- Modal -->\n    <div class=\"modal fade\" id=\"modalbec_peopleblock_fbf412865c2510fe15e195139c63c59214\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-labelledby=\"exampleModalLabel\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n        <div class=\"modal-dialog\">\n            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                <div class=\"modal-body\">\n                    <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bhsec.bard.edu\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2023\/10\/Default-Website-e1742408700491.png\" class=\"card-img-top\" alt=\"Khristian Harris\">\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"col-md-8\">\n                            <h3>Khristian Harris<\/h3>\n                            <span>Mathematics Faculty<\/span>\n                            <ul class=\"personal-info\">\n                                                                <li><i class=\"far fa-envelope-open\"><\/i> <a href=\"mailto:kharris@bhsec.bard.edu\"> kharris@bhsec.bard.edu<\/a><\/li>\n                                \n\n                                                               \n                            <\/ul>\n                            <p>Khristian Harris has dedicated the last decade to STEM instruction, teaching at the elementary, middle, and collegiate (Shaw University) levels before joining the BARD family in 2024.

This experience led her to continue working with high school students, teaching Biology, Epidemiology, and Forensic Science in collaboration with Syracuse University. Dr. K later transitioned into her current role here at Bard DC,\u00a0 serving as Dean of Studies and STEM Instructional Coach. In these roles, she has developed curricula, mentored students and faculty, and implemented innovative teaching strategies to enhance STEM education. Her expertise spans molecular and biochemical techniques, microscopy, imaging, and animal models, and she has published research in scientific journals and presented at national conferences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n                            <button type=\"button\" class=\"close\" data-dismiss=\"modal\" aria-label=\"Close\">\n                                <span aria-hidden=\"true\">&times;<\/span>\n                            <\/button>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- end modal -->\n    <!-- Modal -->\n    <div class=\"modal fade\" id=\"modalbec_peopleblock_fbf412865c2510fe15e195139c63c59217\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-labelledby=\"exampleModalLabel\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n        <div class=\"modal-dialog\">\n            <div class=\"modal-content\">\n                <div class=\"modal-body\">\n                    <div class=\"row\">\n                        <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bhsec.bard.edu\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2024\/02\/Milorad-Lazic-scaled-e1742411291437.jpg\" class=\"card-img-top\" alt=\"Milorad Lazic\">\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"col-md-8\">\n                            <h3>Milorad Lazic<\/h3>\n                            <span>Global History Faculty<\/span>\n                            <ul class=\"personal-info\">\n                                                                <li><i class=\"far fa-envelope-open\"><\/i> <a href=\"mailto:mlazic@bhsec.bard.edu\"> mlazic@bhsec.bard.edu<\/a><\/li>\n                                \n\n                                                               \n                            <\/ul>\n                            <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BA in History &#8211; The University of Belgrade, Serbia; MA in History &#8211; Central Connecticut State University; PhD in History &#8211; George Washington University<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Milorad earned his Ph.D. in History with a focus on the Global Cold War in the 1970s.
