The Tivoli Bay–Bard College Garbage Patrol celebrates Earth Day.
Our People
The students, staff, and faculty of Bard College work together to engage in initiatives—both on and off campus—that reflect the College's sustainability mission. Programs in Annandale reach into the nearby towns and villages of Red Hook, Rhinebeck, and Tivoli, and into the greater Hudson Valley.
Our view of sustainability looks not only toward green initiatives, but also to a larger view of the health and wellness of our community.
Community
Bard staff and off-campus students can access resources that allow them to engage in sustainable behaviors, both on and off campus.
Partnerships
The Bard community connects to sustainability issues in clubs, events, committees, and organizations on campus and off.
Human Resources
Staff wellness programs are an important component to a healthy workforce. Our Athletics Department offers
exercise classes open to faculty and staff.
Diversity
Bard's Office of Multicultural Affairs hosts the
Difference and Media Project, an interdisciplinary, extra-departmental space for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Students
Students make a difference at Bard in many ways, whether by starting an environmental TLS project, volunteering as an EcoRep, or simply practicing sustainability while moving in and out of the dorms.
