About Encompassed – Bronx Science Stories

Encompassed is an oral history-style podcast series and interactive timeline exploring nearly eight decades of 77 years of Bronx Science alumni’s experiences. The interviews revolve around “encompassing moments"–experiences that both immersed the young student in discovery and, like a compass, provided direction for the next steps of his or her life. Listen to the first thirty conversations now, and keep an eye out for new episodes every month.

   Daniel Marks Cohen '88

   "Every year 6,000 people see the benefit of public education. Over 10 years, that's 60,000 people [...] You build a whole constituency of people who feel committed to public education. It would diminish our commitment if you closed the specialized schools. That question for me has long since been settled. We absolutely have to preserve them."

   Richard Streier '62

   "Very few of my students end up becoming humanistic academics. But what I am hoping is that the kids I have in freshman humanities, who have to take it whether they like it or not, on some rainy day 25 or 30 years later when they're successful lawyers, whatever, and they're a little bored, take down one of those books that they for some reason saved."

   David Calvert '71

   "Probably 90% of the graduates from '71, by the time we graduated college, were committed to some kind of social change. We walked out of those colleges into a world we felt we had to make a change in some kind of way. The last thing on our mind was salaries, or income. It was all about what are we doing for the collective good."
