While GS Dean Peter Awn is a turkey on Thanksgiving, he is a professor of Islam during the rest of the academic year. And he is accomplished. If you need proof, CNN featured him in this story about different religions’ beliefs in the afterlife, shared via a tip. Professor Awn contributed his knowledge: Christianity clearly […]

Some got to throw out buzzwords like “privilege,” “problematic,” and “cisnormative” to their MeeMaws. Others stayed on campus and feasted on the fruits of their own labor (hopefully better than last year). Wherever your Thanksgiving took you, we hope you stuffed yourself on delicious food. You have the following to be thankful for:

We know, we know, we said we were on break. But in honor of Thanksgivinukkah (is that how you spell it?), we bring to you in the spirit of annual tradition a small selection of the many, many things we’re grateful for this year. From people to food to certain late night haunts, here’s a […]

Since it’s the day before Thanksgiving, (hopefully you didn’t have class), Bwog is now officially on break.

This Monday, the Earth Institute presented the NYC Summit on Children in the Roone Arledge Auditorium. Hundreds of education and social service heavyweights were in attendance, with mayor-elect and SIPA grad, Bill de Blasio, taking stage as the keynote speaker. Bwogger Heather Akumiah was in attendance and took notes at a hand cramping speed. Mayor […]

At this Monday’s SGA meeting, we heard four more plans for how to spend the $32,000 endowment. Lauren “that one girl who always goes to the SGA meetings” Beltrone listened in eagerly. She likes this kind of stuff. Since you’re all wondering, the answer is yes, President Maddy Popkin did address the controversial Barnard SGA […]

Bwogger Keenan brings you news. Read it. Enjoy it. Talk about it. Or just print it out and frame it above your bed. Your choice. ESC held their last second-to-last meeting of the semester this Friday Monday as they all prepared to go hide in a cave for a bit somewhere. Before spelunking ensued, however, some […]

So apparently alumna is word for a female college alumni. But more importantly Lillian Jin, CC’13, has been selected as one of 12 recipients of a prestigious George J.

Does your significant other call out someone else’s name while sleeping? A gossip column brings in the experts to discuss. (Bwog) Do not go gentle into that good library called Butler. Do not be one of those people. (Bwog) Apparently dining hall food is/always has been awful. As if we didn’t know (looking at you Ferris: […]

In case you’re staying on campus this turkey day, there’s always Westside around for your food-coma needs. Bwog sent Senior Staff Writer Alexander Pines to scope out this year’s offerings.  Not going to lie, I was expecting something weirder out of the place that brought me “Oreos Pancakes” (in other words, soggy oreos covered in […]

In our darkest hour, there is yet light. The junior Phi Beta Kappa inductees of the class of 2014 have just been announced by Columbia’s PBK chapter, as cheerily announced by Columbia College. Out of the 10% of seniors who will make PBK this year, this list represents only 2%; the following 8% of seniors […]

Today, Barnard quietly announced that Print Services will be closing. And when we say “quietly,” we mean that most students weren’t informed at all. According to a tip, the closing will reallocate the space to another department during the construction of the new library in 2015/2016. This will mean drastic changes and possibly much greater […]
