The Hannah Arendt Center (HAC) and Bard Athletics joined together last weekend to organize a campus-wide “Spring Cleaning” event. Working quickly in anticipation of the upcoming admitted students weekend, fellows at the HAC and student athletes gathered supplies and began recruiting volunteers to clean up across Bard’s Annandale campus, drawing more than 40 volunteers to help. The large turnout came as a pleasant surprise to the organizers, with volunteers covering six zones across the campus, picking up everything from abandoned soccer balls to discarded Kline dishware. “It’s not usually work that makes people proud,” one of the fellows later remarked. And yet, after an hour picking up trash, the dedication organizers and volunteers put in was enough to leave the whole campus community inspired.
