We are so excited to welcome each of you in person to our Annandale campus. Over the first few weeks at Bard you will connect with new people and places. You will engage in new literature, participate in robust discussions within and outside of your Language & Thinking (L&T) groups, laugh with new friends, and cry because you miss your “old” ones (and your dog)! Don't worry, we have lots of dogs on campus and you will have the opportunity to meet them. Orientation at Bard is designed to ensure that you get to know the people who are here to support you. We don't expect you to remember everything—that's what your peer counselor (PC) is for! Your PC is a great resource, and you will meet your PC on arrival day. Visit this website regularly to find the latest information about orientation. And please follow us on Instagram, too, at
