LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Alumni/ae, Parents, and Friends: It is my hope that you will take a moment to look through the list of names presented here—the individuals and institutions whose generosity makes Bard’s ambitious goals possible. Together they have raised over $38 million for the College. All of us here at Bard are extremely grateful. Three years ago, we launched the 150th Anniversary Campaign. To date, we have met 71 percent of our goal, raising $420,235,676. Twenty-three percent of this is in irrevocable testamentary gifts. Every gift in this report is a part of that effort. I am certain that we will reach our goal of $594 million—but in order to do so every gift is needed, no matter its size.
