On August 22, 2020, thirteen graduates of Bard Microcollege Holyoke at The Care Center received their college degrees at Bard College’s 160th commencement held virtually. Despite the challenges of parenting and studying in a global pandemic, these exceptional women finished their degrees, becoming the program’s largest graduating class to date! Several students are off to continue their educational journeys at bachelor’s degree programs including Mount Holyoke and Bard College at Annandale.
After being apart for nearly six months, graduates came together for an outdoor gathering at The Care Center to celebrate their monumental achievement. Despite their physical distance, the close-knit group of students supported each other through unprecedented times.
