Fall often signals homecoming, which the Belin-Blank Center experienced in full swing this past month. At our annual advisory board meeting, we welcomed “old” board members, some of whom have served on the advisory board since its inception in 1999, and “new” members, some of whom are alumni of our programs. Everyone on the board enjoys one or more connections to the Belin-Blank Center, and everyone truly loves coming home.
As with all homecomings, feelings are mixed. Reminiscing about our co-founders and our legacy evokes nostalgia and pride for the work we do and the impact we have on students and educators. There is also great excitement for new initiatives and updates. One of the most significant updates concerns our website, designed to help you feel at home wherever you are!

The Belin-Blank Center is home for students who show a deep curiosity, a love of learning, or a particular talent in an area.
TAG professionals seeking their TAG endorsement have a home here, too.
And we are your home for research about:
- acceleration for advanced learners;
- access & equity for bright students;
- new initiatives for twice-exceptionality.
Visit the new website to see for yourself and… welcome home!
