• Bard Professor Justus Rosenberg Honored with French Legion of Honor Medal
  

  03-28-2017: Justus Rosenberg will receive the Legion of Honor medal at the French consulate in New York City on Thursday, March 30. Professor Rosenberg, Bard professor emeritus of languages and literature and visiting professor of literature, is the last surviving member of the Varian Fry group, which helped rescue hundreds of artists and intellectuals from Nazi-occupied France during World War II. He later joined the Forces Francaises de I'Interieur and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation organization. The medal recognizes his "selfless sacrifice" throughout the war and subsequent "outstanding academic career ... where you left a profound mark and remain a highly influential role model for thousands of young men and women beginning their adult lives. It comes in recognition of the high esteem in which you are held by French authorities, and serves as an example to all those who have French-American friendship at heart."

• MoMA Announces the First U.S. Exhibition to Encompass Photographer, Bard Professor Stephen Shore's Entire Career
  

  01-29-2017: The Museum of Modern Art announces Stephen Shore, the first U.S. survey to encompass the entirety of Stephen Shore’s career in photography, from the gelatin silver prints he made as a teenager to his current work with digital platforms. On view from November 19, 2017, until spring 2018, the exhibition tracks the artist from his wunderkind beginnings—works made when he was just 14 years old were acquired by Edward Steichen, the director of the Department of Photography at MoMA; he had a solo exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art when he was 24 years old—through his continual, restless interrogation of image making. Stephen Shore is Susan Weber Professor in the Arts and director of the Photography Program at Bard. He has taught at the College since 1982.
