Tech Corner: Google Docs
Docs for Collaboration
Google Docs (referred to here as Docs) is free to all LLI members who have an LLI account (such as jdoe@lli.bard.edu). It is a word processing application, very similar to Microsoft Word, but you don’t have to pay for it and it resides in the Cloud so you don’t have to install it on your computer,
Fall Luncheon
Save the Date
Friday, September 6, is LLI’s kickoff day for the fall semester. There will be:

The Enjoyment of Watching and Listening
Join the AV Team

SummerFest 2019
SummerFest is a delight
It’s summertime and the learnin’ is easy. Two periods, a long and social coffee break and fascinating teachers make for a perfect Friday morning.
The Bard campus is much quieter in June, so there are no issues with finding adequate parking.
Thank You, Participating Members!

Upcoming Events

In case of emergency on campus
Should there be a serious emergency – medical, fire, etc. – call TWO numbers in the order below.
First call: 9-1-1
For Dutchess County Emergency Services. It is available 24/7.
Second call: (845) 758-7777 or from emergency call boxes: 7777
For Bard College Emergency Medical Services (a trained campus emergency response team).
Bard EMS is always to be called second. While the service provides the fastest response, it follows the college academic schedule and is therefore not always available.
