BardWorks encourages students to translate their liberal arts degree and skills into a rewarding career path. BardWorks 2022 will take place virtually January 26–28. The program will focus on connecting students to the Bard network while developing their professional skills. Students will hear from expert panels, take part in small group discussions, and have the opportunity to be paired with a BardWorks mentor!
The BardWorks Program
BardWorks helps rising juniors and seniors apply their liberal arts education to the workforce they are about to enter. Drawing on the College’s extensive alumni/ae and family networks, we pair students with a mentor in their field of interest, and help them develop interview, resume, and networking skills. Our ultimate aim: to create a community of leaders who will succeed professionally and make a difference in the lives of others.
