Dear <<First Name>>,

We are all looking forward to returning to campus this Fall and we are delighted to welcome 69 new members to LLI. A wonderful selection of courses is planned. The catalog will be released on August 25, and registration in ProClass begins on Sept. 1. To prepare for the Fall semester, please follow the guidelines in this message.

We are happy to share some good news: LLI members will once again be able to purchase food in Kline Commons and at the Down the Road Cafe in the Bertelsmann Campus Center. We will also reinstate a hospitality room in Olin on Fridays. Details about that will be shared when we get closer to the beginning of classes.

LLI maintains contact with Bard’s COVID-19 Response Team and follows their recommendations to be allowed on campus. For more information, see the Bard College COVID-19 page. The page is updated frequently and includes the most recent information available. Bard currently requires all visitors to campus, including LLI members, to be fully vaccinated including at least one booster.

LLI also monitors updates from the CDC. LLI strongly recommends that members refer to the CDC’s guidance on vaccinations and boosters specific to our age group.  For more information, see the CDC site Stay Up to Date with Your COVID-19 Vaccines | CDC.

Effective September 1, 2022, out of an abundance of caution, LLI will require all members and guests to wear a mask at all times they are inside a building on campus. Presenters are not required to wear a mask while actively presenting a class.   

Members will not be able to register on ProClass for any in-person class until they have presented proof of vaccination, including at least one booster. Vaccinations are not required for classes presented on Zoom only.
 
All new members: Please email your proof of vaccination, including at least one booster, to registration@lli.bard.edu by August 15. You may email us a photo of either your CDC Covid-19 Vaccination Card or digital NYS Excelsior Pass.

Returning members: If you have not already been verified by LLI when you attended an LLI event or an in-person class, please email proof of vaccination, including at least one booster, to registration@lli.bard.edu by August 15. You may email us a photo of either your CDC Covid-19 Vaccination Card or digital NYS Excelsior Pass.  

We wish everyone a healthy and productive semester!

The Bard LLI Council
