Your generous support provides Barnard with resources that empower students to pursue their interests and change the world, and your Annual Fund gift will immediately be used where it will have the most impact on the experiences of students.
If you have any questions about how to make a gift or would like information about how to become a member of the Parents Council, please contact parentsgiving@barnard.edu.
