By attending Bard College in Annandale, or any institution in the Bard Network, you are automatically a member of the Bard College Alumni/ae Association. The Alumni/ae Association is here to strengthen the connection between alumni/ae and the College and help Bardians everywhere, of every graduating class, to stay in touch. There are now more than 19,000 Bard alumni/ae—and that number is growing, as close to half of all Bardians have graduated in the last 20 years.

Photographs by Pete Mauney ’93 MFA ’00 “Are Shedding New Light on How Fireflies Interact with the World,” Says NPR
Pete Mauney ’93 MFA ’00 says his photographs of fireflies can range from “a spa for the eyes” to “almost pure chaos.” For NPR, Lara Pellegrinelli spoke with Mauney, who has spent almost a decade photographing fireflies in the Hudson Valley, using Photoshop to painstakingly compile hundreds of timed exposures into a single image. The images, Pellegrinelli writes, are catching the eye of artists and scientists alike, sparking the interest of researchers pursuing “new evidence that firefly swarms can synchronize their flashes.”Photographs by Pete Mauney ’93 MFA ’00 “Are Shedding New Light on How Fireflies Interact with the World,” Says NPR
