Anthro Club

Anthro Club offers a space for anthro majors and non majors to share ethnographic/theoretical writing and receive peer feedback. The idea for this club came after anthro seniors realized they would not have sproj colloquium in the spring, and felt that they really benefitted from a forum to share work.

Association for Women in Mathematics Club

The purpose of the Association for Women in Mathematics(AWM) is to create a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors, and to promote equitable opportunity and treatment of women and others of marginalized genders and gender identities across the mathematical sciences.

Bard has an AWM chapter which has been run through the AWM club since last year. We hold math gatherings, go to conferences together, and generally foster a friendly and welcoming community around mathematics.

This year, we are also going to start running a mentoring program for incoming freshmen in math! This is a great opportunity to provide support in the transition to college and help make Bard a welcoming place. This program will include maintaining a supportive relationship with your mentee throughout the school year. Our mentoring project aims to welcome incoming first students into the Department of Mathematics. Our overarching goal is to better communicate with the new students by introducing them to relevant clubs/organizations, initiating an open and inclusive virtual platform for discussions, and bridging connections between upper and lower classmen.

Throughout the year, the club will participate in several conferences at other colleges; members are encouraged to attend at least one per semester.

Bard Math Club

The purpose of this club is to create a space for people to develop their problem-solving skills and get a chance to explore areas of mathematics that are less commonly taught along with others who are interested in the same thing. The Club will gather as a group to work on and discuss competition problems, such as the Putnam exam and various international math olympiads. We will also take part in selecting practice problems to sent out to high schoolers preparing for competitions. In addition, we are planning to have various speakers give presentations about their work in their specific field of math. The class will hold in-person meetings with remote options via Zoom!
The proliferation of mathematical ideas is often hampered by jargon, technical points, and symbolic manipulation. However, within math communities, ideas are communicated verbally and in ways intended to show what is most essential about an idea. An auxiliary goal of this club is to utilize this way of articulating math in a way that makes it appealing to non-specialists. In particular, we hope that during this semester, math majors will be able to share what they find beautiful and inspiring with other students in the Bard community.
We also plan to attend nearby math conferences whenever possible, as well as work together with the Bard Math Circle to provide mathematical opportunities for local middle school students.
Most importantly, anyone is welcome regardless of their major or math experience. The desire to learn more about mathematics and passion for problem-solving is more than enough.

Biology Club

What we are, why, and what we hope to achieve: The Bard Biology club is a social and skill enhancing club that is open to students of all majors. This club exists for two major goals: (1) To create a sense of community for students interested in Biology, and (2) To connect students with opportunities to serve the Bard community. We hope to create a sense of community by hosting monthly events (documentary viewings, movie nights, game night, etc) to bring students together to get to know each other. In the long run, we plan on connecting students with volunteer and science outreach opportunities (in the form of tutoring, coaching, medical volunteers, etc.) in local communities (elementary, middle or high schools). We acknowledge that there are different fields in biology so we will be working with CDO and CCE to provide volunteer opportunities in different fields, be it medicine or anything, per the student’s interest. We will also invite Bard biology alumni to give talks on what they are doing now with their biology degrees and provide more insight into the different career opportunities that are available for biology majors. We want this club to not only be a fun club but also a way to discover one’s interest and improve one’s skills for future careers.
We will mostly be meeting once a month for now. We will be meeting in RKC 200 biweekly so keep in touch by checking the instagram post. Time will vary so for meetings and events so email a club head for clarification or check the instagram account below:

Economics Society

The Bard Economics Society is a student-run organization that will supplement the economics program at Bard. Our goals are to enhance the undergraduate economics experience with speakers from various fields within economics such as finance, economic policy, and academia. We also want to raise money so that we can attend major economic conferences such as the Hyman Minsky Conference in Washington, D.C., amongst other talks and conferences in the NYC area. We also aim to help students develop networking skills, and organize networking events with students through Bard alumni working in economics-related fields. The CDO is also willing to work with us on building essential career-oriented skills such as resume-buildling, utilizing LinkedIn, interviews, etc. Besides all of these great opportunities, we also want to create an environment where economics majors can just talk about current events, their economics homework, their weekend, the stock market, cereal, their hedgehog and whatever else.

The Greek club will be a space for Bardians to learn more about the culture, customs and social issues of this small Mediterranean nation. Our events will include cooking traditional recipes, sharing music, learning Greek dances, as well as addressing some common misconceptions (i.e. we are not just side characters on Mamma Mia and Percy Jackson). Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join our club. Food will be provided!

Feel free to follow us on instagram @greekclub.bard

Indigenous Students Association (ISA)

This club will be started to create representation for Indigenous students that are a part of Bard’s campus. Cultural Representation has been taken away from us and the spark of cultural appropriation hides the truth of who we are and what our traditions are. Bard has many organizations for other students of color on campus, each having their own unique identity. I want to give a place where there is representation for specifically indigenous students on campus. This association is not only made for students with native blood, but for those who want to help us break the generations worth of misinformation, to become educated, hopefully getting inspired to educate the rest of the Bard community. People not only should know the true history, but the culture of different Indigenous peoples. I want to give students confidence, to not be ashamed of their heritage, but instead, be proud of it.

Bard Dramatic Society’s mission is to encourage and enhance the talents of collegiate dramatists, playwrights, and ensemble members through fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and collaborative environment that embraces the unique assets that live performance offers in cultivating the breadth of our shared humanity.

We staunchly believe that playwrights are the great storytellers of our time, and thus necessitate a space that offers support, training, and tools to explore their artistic vision. We further recognize the importance of familiarizing artists with seminal works of their craft.
The name is purposefully vague, functioning as an umbrella term to include all kinds of participation in the dramatic arts. This flexibility allows the club to progressively expand what it values in different ways.

Makerspace

Bard Makerspace seeks to be an open workshop for creativity
—run by students. While Bard has robust arts infrastructure, not
everyone has access to those facilities and there is still space for
slow arts, such as sewing and mending,
knitting/crocheting, weaving, and more, to be introduced in
a friendly, collaborative environment where newcomers and
advanced artists alike can explore and create. The Makerspace would provide a centralized zone for
workshops like mending, sewing tutorials, and so much more.

St Tula

THE ST. TULA FILM SOCIETY was reestablished in 2010 by Film & Electronic Arts students to encourage viewership and criticism of past and current student work. Alongside weekly workshop meetings, the society holds screenings twice a month: the first screening consists of films from former Bard students whose works are in the archive, the second screening is devoted to showing current student work. All films are welcome, including works in progress — all are equal in the eyes of Saint Tula. Adolfas Mekas, an avant-garde filmmaker and former professor of film at Bard, initiated Saint Tula in the 1970s to encourage his students to become involved in each other’s projects. The mission is the same 50 years later.

The Spoken Word Poetry Club

Our Spoken Word Poetry Club serves as a creative outlet for individuals to express themselves through poetry, allowing them to develop their skills and share their unique voices. Under the guidance of myself and my fellow poet and co-head, we aim to create a supportive environment where members can write, practice, and perform their original poems. Our goal is to showcase our talents through events that engage the local Bard community and bring poetry to life in dynamic and impactful ways.

The Spoken Word Club is not only open to poets; if you consider yourself a singer, rapper, or writer, you can find a space in our poetry club. Many spoken word pieces have a musical component, and a lot of spoken word poetry is rooted in hip-hop and rap, so all of these art forms are welcome and highly encouraged!

As a Black student from Baltimore, Maryland, and the Baltimore City Youth Poet Laureate, I have often felt that my perspective is underrepresented at Bard. Through this club, I hope to not only share my own experiences but also provide a platform for others from underrepresented backgrounds to express their stories and connect with their peers. We are committed to giving a voice to Maryland and the DMV area, showcasing what that culture is like while also amplifying the voices of those from other underrepresented areas and backgrounds, ensuring our narratives are heard both on campus and beyond.

Join us in fostering creativity, community, and representation through spoken word. Whether you're a seasoned poet, just starting out, or identify more as a rapper or singer, all are welcome. We invite you to be part of our dynamic and inclusive space!

United Nations American Bard College Campus Chapter

The United Nations American Bard College Campus Chapter seeks to create a safe and inclusive space for open, respectful dialogue on some of the most polarizing and sensitive issues of our time. At Bard, our diverse student body brings unique perspectives that deserve to be heard and respected without fear of judgment or backlash—something that is often missing in traditional classroom settings.
We aim to provide a platform for students to engage in meaningful, thoughtful conversations on complex global issues—such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Hindu-Muslim tensions in India, and women's rights struggles—while fostering an environment of mutual respect and understanding. By embracing differing viewpoints and encouraging constructive dialogue, we hope to empower students to express their opinions freely and learn from one another.
In addition to facilitating these discussions, we will work closely with the UNA Mid Hudson Valley to engage in collaborative projects, educational programs, workshops, and events that bring in experts, facilitate resource-sharing, and promote solutions that foster empathy, understanding, and social change. Through this partnership, we aim to strengthen our impact, deepen our knowledge, and create opportunities for students to actively participate in global dialogues.
By creating a community that values the power of dialogue and cooperation, we strive to drive positive change and build deeper connections across cultures and perspectives, both locally and globally.

The Community Project

The Community Project is a social club with the goal of rebuilding and supporting the POSSE Atlanta and Puerto Rico cohorts on campus. Both groups have derived from different demographics and have chosen to make their marks at Bard. Though the POSSE foundation provides spaces for students to connect and professionally develop their resumes, and have other opportunities, we hope to provide more spaces for these students to engage in programs that highlight their own identities and celebrate them culturally and socially. This club is not only exclusive to POSSE but is being created with the intention of connecting students within POSSE and OEI. More importantly, it creates spaces for community members outside of these scholarships to also find safe spaces where they can connect and build.

At our events, members can design their own bouquets to take home, give to friends or professors, or use in campus events. We aim to create a fun, supportive community and add beauty to Bard’s campus with our flowers.

Young Peanut Butter Heads of America

In 1916, George Washington Carver published his seminal text How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it For Human Consumption; thus a revolution of paste was born. Further developed by Jif, Skippy, and Peter Pan, among others, Peanut Butter quickly became a Corner Stone of the American pantry. It would remain strong in the face of war and adversity for a near century.
Peanut Butter filled the hearts and little tummies of America’s future leaders, thinkers, and revolutionaries. But with one Viral mid-aughts internet craze, all of that came tumbling down. On August 27th, 2015, the infamous “Peanut Butter Baby” video surfaced on “Vine”, a vestigial organ of “Twitter”, now referred to as “X”. Just as Adam realized he was naked in the garden of Eden, we, too, were confronted with a rude awakening. Indubitably, Peanut Butter was tainted by this incident, and has since been unable to restore its former glory.
The Young Peanut Butter Heads of America are committed to reconnecting the public with the peanut butter the world once knew. With peanut butter as both media and mode, we hope to reconstruct a new, Marxist imaginary. Please, join us to explore both modality and scripture of this beloved food. Peanut allergic welcome, additional waivers required.
