The Bard College Alumni/ae Association, its Board of Governors and its committees are committed to maintaining shared values of anti-racism, justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and access in all aspects of programming, and interactions with Bard College community members, including but not limited to students, faculty, administration, fellow alumni/ae, and guests.
The Board of Governors
The work of the Bard College Alumni/ae Association relies on the active participation of alumni/ae on the committees of the Board of Governors. Alumni/ae from all eras of Bard’s history serve on this volunteer board and act as ambassadors of the College. We welcome all alumni/ae to attend Board of Governors meetings, which are held in May and December each year.
