The BardWorks Program
BardWorks helps students translate their liberal arts education into meaningful professional pathways. By drawing on the College’s extensive alumni/ae, professional, and family networks, participants receive personalized mentorship and practice key career skills such as interviewing, networking, and articulating their goals with clarity and confidence. This program fosters a community that encourages students to think critically about their futures, take initiative, and step into life beyond Bard with purpose and direction.
