How do I start one or join?
If you have a unique interest that you think other Bardians would be passionate about, and would like to to see an affinity group started please email [email protected] and we’ll talk through it with you! In preparing to create a group have an idea of how often you would want to meet as a whole group, events you would like to plan, and ways to engage with the current student body. Affinity groups plan a range of events, including meetings to chat and strategize, networking receptions connecting alumni/ae and current students, and expert panels on a variety of topics. We hope you'll join and bring your experience to the Bard network!
To join an already existing group please scroll down and join the group's social media, and email [email protected] to be added to the groups mailing list.
