Melissa L. Bard

Bard is originally from Greencastle, PA, and she worked at Penn State before coming to ECU. She attended the University of Maryland, and is currently a doctoral student at Walden University. In addition to furthering her education, she obtained her Senior Professional in Human Resources certification in 2002.

She prefers quieter weekends; however, she still has fun when she is not teaching. Some of her favorite hobbies include running, baking, practicing yoga, reading, and cheering on her favorite sports teams.

Bard loves spending time with her granddaughter, and her favorite quote is “It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.”. She enjoys the movie Titanic very much, and luckily her favorite color is lavender, so she will fit right in here at ECU!

Welcome to our team, and we hope you have a great year!
