Greetings Faculty, Students, and Prospective Students

Your friends at the Learning Commons hope that you continue healthy and well.

Students looking for 1:1 course support; learning strategies; writing consulting; ESL tutoring; writing, reading, and study rooms; and 1:1 senior project support may contact [email protected], or call us at 845-758-7812. To make and meet for an appointment in-person, come visit us: we are open daily and located behind Stone Row. We look forward to seeing you in the BLC!

Just come in and sign up for a writing conference. Sessions typically last one hour each. In addition to meeting with a peer tutor by appointment, you may now (also) "drop-in" for a one-on-one, hour long writing conference with an advanced Bard student who is trained to provide collaborative support and a set of new eyes on your written drafts.
