Dr. Zafra Lerman

The Institute for Science Education and Science Communication at Columbia College was established Semptember 1, 1991, by Dr. Zafra Lerman, to address one of the nation's biggest crisis: Science Education.

"You can make anything understandable and interesting if you teach it in the right way. If you move from the concrete to the abstract, from the known to the unknown, there is no barrier a student cannot overcome. When students can visualize concepts by using dance, drama, artwork, computer visualization, or whatever mode is best for each student, they enjoy the process of learning, retain the information longer, and can use the product of their own visualization for their professional portfolios."
