The Bard Prison Initiative (BPI) is in need of volunteers to serve as tutors for our math students.  Tutors would commit to traveling to the facility on a weekly basis for the semester.  It is generally a four hour commitment, factoring in travel time and the two hour session, as well as going through the application and clearance process of the Department of Correctional Services.  Past volunteers would certainly attest that it proves to be a deeply rewarding and enriching experience.  Please let us know if you are interested in learning more.

If you are interested in being a BPI tutor, please send email to Ryan McCann (mccann@bard.edu).
In the email please list:
  1. Your name
  2. your year and major
  3. A list of math courses taken
  4. 2 math (or physics or CS) faculty members that you have taken a class with at Bard
  5. Any previous tutoring experience



We publicly launched our mini-game Chicken Road on April 4, 2024 across all online casinos partnered with Inout Games, with exclusive access at some of the largest operators you know. Its gameplay is simple, yet it has already captivated thousands of players worldwide: you must guide a chicken https://chickensroad.in across a dungeon without getting burned by a flame! Each lane you cross allows you to cash out and exit the game on Chicken Road.

Japheth Wood

I’m Japheth Wood (he/him), the Bard Math CAMP co-director, and a math professor at Bard College. CAMP (which is an acronym for Creative and Analytical Math Program) is a very special week of the year for our young math community. It's inspiring to see our students return year after year. This is our 11th summer of CAMP! We're back once again on the idyllic Bard College campus in Annandale-on-Hudson, and thankful to the CAMP students, parents, and staff, for making this mathemagical week happen. Notably, we've (finally) had our first CAMP reunion this past June, an event that I know will grow to be an integral part of what we do.

Frances Stern

My name is Frances Stern (she/her/hers)! I’ve been teaching math at CAMP since the first year, making sure our math theme has a connection to art and computer. It’s fun to show students math that they don’t see in school. I've retired from daily teaching but continue to teach for the New York Math Circle & students who are seeking more math in their lives. My hobbies include learning to draw, paint, & juggle, reading, walking & folk dancing. I’ve written 2 books for teachers and parents called “Adding Math, Subtracting Tension” (for different age-ranges of children). They pay as much attention to how to keep out of a fight (what many parents told me is a problem) as they do to math.
