Dear Alumni,

This marks our last Alumni Newsletter for 2020, and what a year it has been. I know holiday celebrations look different this year, but I hope you each can find time to rest and recoup over the next few weeks. 

We’ll be back in January with the next edition. In the meantime, if you hear of anything that may be of interest to your fellow alumni, please email alumni@bgc.bard.edu or share via the BGC Facebook or LinkedIn pages. 

Warm wishes for a brighter New Year,
Grace Reff (MA ’17)
