Responsibilities include working with residents on conflict mediation, leading social and community‑building programming, engaging with students on issues of health and wellness, and helping students adapt to life in New York City.
The Student Life Coordinator serves as a primary point of contact for students’ non‑academic concerns and works to foster a supportive educational environment that promotes students’ individual growth, community engagement, and academic achievement. In addition, this role assists with monitoring residential facilities, communicating maintenance needs, supporting purchasing card management and charge reconciliation processes, and helping ensure that cleanliness standards, and overall building operations support a positive student living experience.

The position requires full‑time residency in the Residence Hall. Participation in a 24/7 on‑call rotation, responding to student concerns, crises, and emergency situations is required.
About Bard NYC:Bard NYC is semester‑long experiential learning undergraduate study‑away program in New York City, which pairs academic study with professional internships. A semester combines 12‑16 credits in a wide array of courses, including a core‑seminar, with an internship of up to 20 hours per week.
The experience is accompanied by co‑curricular programming to help students explore career pathways and build professional networks, as well as cultural programming to introduce students to New York City. The program builds off of the success of the Bard Globalization and International Affairs program, which welcomed students from around the world for more than twenty years. Bard College’s newly opened dormitory and learning space in Brooklyn, and expanded academic and internship offerings allow a larger number of students from a wide array of majors and career interests the opportunity to participate.
