The mission of the Lifetime Learning Institute at Bard College is:
- to provide enriching educational and social experiences in a community of mature adults by offering noncredit and noncompetitive courses under the sponsorship of Bard College;
- to encourage members to volunteer, according to their individual skills and interests; and
- to share ideas and experiences with students of all ages.
LLI is an all-volunteer, member-run organization that encourages active participation. Our presenters volunteer from our membership, the community, and the Bard faculty. LLI organizes two seven-week semesters, a winter intersession, a summer series, and occasional special events.
At Bard, LLI is part of the Center for Civic Engagement, one of many CCE programs that engage communities locally, nationally, and internationally. LLI is also affiliated with the Road Scholar Institute Network, a national organization that facilitates communication with similar groups.
- Dean Stuart Stritzler-Levine Seniors-to-Seniors Grant: Five graduating seniors receive grants to help them complete their Senior Projects. A Bard College committee chooses the recipients, who may use the funds as needed. Prior to Commencement, the recipients present their Projects at a high tea hosted by LLI.
- Bard High School Early College Summer Intern Incentive: BHSEC in New York City offers selected students the opportunity to graduate with two years of college credit. During the summer before their final year, students may participate in unpaid internships. LLI provides a small stipend to four students to help with their expenses during this time.
- Bard Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) Community Action Awards: support for student internships, travel, and other costs, and support for other CCE programs.
- Bard College Conservatory of Music: ongoing general support.
- Bertelsmann Campus Center: technical upgrades to conference rooms and classrooms.
