What if higher education could unlock opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background? Join us as we explore this possibility with Dr. Kellie Bean, the Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Boston Architectural College. Dr. Kellie shares her inspiring journey from an English literature major to a prominent leader in higher education. Her passion for opening doors for underserved students resonates throughout the conversation as she sheds light on the unique mission of her college. Discover how Boston Architectural College commits to affordable, accessible design education, fostering a diverse environment for those who might not traditionally see themselves in the field.

We challenge the myths of higher education by examining the transformative power of access institutions. Dr. Kellie dispels the notion that a quality education is exclusive to elite schools, arguing instead that profound learning experiences exist within institutions dedicated to inclusivity. Her career, which began in Appalachia, is a testament to the impact education can have not just on individuals, but entire communities. Tune in to capture Dr. Kellie’s infectious enthusiasm for empowering all students through education and learn how Boston Architectural College is championing diversity in architecture and design.
