Alumni/ae Weekend

October 24–26, 2025

All Bardians are invited back to Annandale for Alumni/ae Weekend 2025. Come and enjoy fall in the Hudson Valley at your old school.  There's lots of new things to see, plus classes, athletic events, student panels,  and the Hudson Valley Cities Party. Bardian families are welcome.  You can reconnect with faculty and friends and meet the next generation of Bardians. 

This year Alumni/ae Weekend includes a special event: “Freedom and Democracy in Today's America”: Bard College President Leon Botstein in conversation with Malia Du Mont ’95, vice president for strategy and policy, chief of staff, and an Army Reserve officer with over 20 years of service.

Can't wait to see you!
