Our Mission

The Council for Inclusive Excellence (CIE) serves as a central hub for Bard College’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) agenda. Students, faculty, and staff volunteer or are appointed annually to this institutionally recognized catalyst for change. The Council serves as a communication nexus for concerns, projects, and initiatives requiring campus-wide collaboration for success. The CIE operates from the belief that the institutional transformation for greater inclusion requires systemic change. This systemic change is most successful when the diversity of people within an institution collaborate to work, support, and care for the holistic needs of the campus community.

Making Local Connections

  • Spotlight on the Community Relations Working Group
    Bard's Council for Inclusive Excellence has launched a Community Relations Working Group to focus on connecting with local entities that are involved in diversity-related work and ensure that Bardian voices are included in those efforts. The working group, which is cochaired by Sarah deVeer ’17, outreach coordinator in the Center for Civic Engagement, and Malia Du Mont ’95, chief of staff and vice president for strategy and policy, welcomes additional members to join. Initial projects include connecting with local human rights organizations and law enforcement organizations in Dutchess and Ulster to inform their work on New York State–mandated criminal justice reform reports. Under this mandate from Governor Cuomo, all localities in New York State are required to adopt a police reform plan, so this is a timely opportunity for Bard—as the most diverse community in Northern Dutchess—to make its voice heard on behalf of our students and employees. The working group also intends to explore diversity-related connections with local school districts.
