Your Team, Your College, Your Home

"Athletics helped me find my place at Bard right away. The team was my support group, beginning with the Language and Thinking Program. As soon as one season is finished I look forward to the next. We all come from different majors, and we’re all unique. I never would have met my teammates any other way."

—Brianna Bean, film and electronic arts major
