This program will include maintaining a supportive relationship with your mentee throughout the school year.

Biology Club 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: Club Head(s): Fuadur Omi ([email protected]) Albright Tuah ([email protected]) Sydney Gustave ([email protected]) Instagram Page: Bard Biology club Club Head Information Omi Fuadur , [email protected] Sydney Gustave , [email protected] Albright Tuah , [email protected] Type(s): Academic	Chemistry Club Chemistry Club The Chemistry Club facilitates social interactions among Chemistry/Biochemistry or other STEM students and any curious Bardians who have similar interests.

Indigenous Students Association (ISA) 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.

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.

Written by Women Written by Women As the name suggests, this is a book club that focuses on works written solely by women! We want to shed light on how often female authors are ridiculed by sharing our love for their works here, because they deserve to be enjoyed! All works should be appreciated—no matter the genre. Whether it be YA romance, literary fiction, or anything in between, it is wrong to downplay the works of women just because some of them are not deemed "serious" enough. Enjoyment should never regard something as trivial. There is always potential to learn from books, no matter the text; reading is always, and will always be what you make of it.
