New Faculty Resources

CFCD offers a range of workshops and other opportunities to help new faculty navigate teaching and research at Bard. Summer workshops (on course design and on teaching writing-rich courses), lunchtime discussions (on topics such as lecturing, teaching close reading, grading, managing class discussion and “hot moments” in the classroom), and evening events (on topics such as promotion, tenure, and grants writing) are but a few of the events CFCD organizes each year.

New Faculty Resources

  • A number of useful resources for faculty can be found on the Teaching and Advising page of the Dean of the College website.
  • Basic tips for new faculty can be found in the New Faculty Survival Guide (PDF).
  • Crite sheets: Our quick introduction to writing “crite” (criteria) sheets includes tips and samples.
  • Computing at Bard: Bard IT offers information and support for email and other campus computing services. See their guides to Brightspace and Google Classroom, Bard's learning management systems, for everything you need to add and manage an online course component.

Faculty Research Support

Bard College offers faculty several forms of research support. For internal grants, see the Dean of the College website link below. For additional internal support, review individual program and institutional opportunities, including the Experimental Humanities concentration and the Center for Civic Engagement. Bard also supports two grants officers, one for individual research, the other for institutional grants. Information provided below.

Faculty Research Support


Individual Faculty Grants
Faculty Grants Officer Susan Elvin Cooper provides a comprehensive advisory and consultative service for undergraduate faculty in their quest for grants to support individual projects, from curricular innovations and academic research to specialist conferences, public programs, and other professional work. Members of faculty are encouraged to contact Sue before applying for any grant. She offers support throughout the grant life cycle, which comprises these principal steps: finding funding prospects, gaining the appropriate institutional approvals to apply, creating and submitting an application, and managing a grant once it has been awarded. She tailors support according to the needs of the individual member of faculty, his or her project, and the grant opportunity itself. Typical examples are a training workshop on a funding program, the creation of information modules and templates, budget creation advice, copyediting support, the provision of institutional materials, contract analysis and negotiation, and a review of terms and conditions prior to accepting an award. She is also responsible for ensuring that all the appropriate documentation is forwarded to Bard College’s Office of Institutional Support, which centrally monitors all grants, and that grant documentation is created and stored to satisfy the requirements of the College’s auditors. Sue’s email is [email protected].

Institutional Support (Internal)
A set of resources and guidelines related to institutional funding sources can be found on the Research and Development page of the Dean of the College website.

Institutional Support (External)
Johnny Brennan ’10, in the Office of Development and Alumni/ae Affairs, oversees external institutional grant support. Johnny’s email is [email protected].
