Get Involved!
Many activities enrich life on and off campus, from garage-band concerts at SMOG, a student-run music venue, to language tables, where students share meals and practice conversation in Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, and other languages. Other student-led activities include the Root Cellar, which has an impressive collection of zines; Sawkill Coffee House; and Thursday Night Live, which consists of acoustic concerts, contests, open mic nights, and more at Down the Road Café.

Center for Civic Engagement

Center for Civic Engagement

Bard uses its campus and resources to develop and support robust and sustainable partnerships to address local, national, and global problems, reach underserved populations, and tackle critical issues of education and public policy. The Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) at Bard College supports, coordinates, and promotes a wide array of student and institutional initiatives—from the student-initiated Trustee Leader Scholar Program, to the public high school early college movement and degree-granting programs in prisons.
