This year, the Bard College Awards return to main campus under the big tent where guests will be able to enjoy cocktails, dinner, and the awards ceremony all in one place. Join us for an elegant seated dinner as we recognize exceptional alumni/ae achievements and the careers of distinguished faculty. Alumni/ae are highly encouraged to make this the first stop of the weekend—it’s a great way to meet up with classmates, enjoy an al fresco dinner, and get inspired by some amazing Bardian stories. The award presentations that open and close the evening are hosted by Mollie Meikle ’03, president of the Bard College Alumni/ae Association Board of Governors, and Bard President Leon Botstein. Advance registration is required. Reunion classes will be seated together. Please be sure to pick up your packets from registration before attending.5:30 pm – 8:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
