Feel Well, Do Well @ Barnard is focused on addressing disparities across campus for students, especially those having nondominant identities. We are using a culturally sensitive approach to investigate and address how inequity of access to services influences performance inside and outside of the classroom.
Research shows that social connectedness has positive impacts on cognition, motivation, and overall health. Through training and activities, Feel Well, Do Well @ Barnard enhances social connectedness, recognizing that each member of our community has a role to play in creating a supportive environment.
Barnard constantly works at breaking down barriers in the classroom and throughout the learning experience. CARDS helps students with these, whether it is accommodating physical access or learning differently. Through the Center for Engaged Pedagogy, students and faculty continuously explore the process of teaching and learning, learning and growing from each other. Barnard is committed to having wellness as a foundation to promote learning at the highest level.
We offer therapy, groups, workshops and medication to assist students in maintaining emotional and mental health to help Barnard students facilitate their richest experience of college life. We support the College’s commitment to diversity, raising awareness of systems of oppression and unequal access to resources, and work to promote social justice.
The Center for Accessibility Resources and Disability Services strives to meet the individual needs of our entire community. Students have a wealth of resources to draw from, including an expanded academic coaching program offering support in time management, procrastination, test preparation, note taking and reading/writing strategies
The Center for Engaged Pedagogy brings faculty and students together in a collaborative environment to explore teaching and learning. With focus on both innovative and inclusive practices, the CEP is central to Barnard's acknowledgment of diverse ways of knowing and expertise. Workshops, conferences, and more make for a rich resource for infusing accessibility and wellness into the classroom.
