19 CommentsYesterday was CC’s Class Day, featuring Dan Futterman, your CC Val and Sal, lots of red tape, Deantini, and the ever-present PrezBo.
A grad shouted “PrezBo!” at PrezBo. PrezBo smiled back. It was magical. #ccclassday14

Erik Campano cleared up any confusion about the red tape graduates were placing on their caps:
The red tape that students are wearing during their graduation and commencement ceremonies this year symbolizes their support for a safer campus, and solidarity with students who have experienced sexual violence. It serves as a reminder that Columbia still has many changes to make, in order to be a leader nationwide in the fight against sexual assault at colleges and universities.
Sadly, we didn’t have a reporter on the scene to get more of CC Class Day, as all of Bwog is cuddling with their dogs in bed, remember?
Today was university-wide Commencement, which we relive through social media below. We are deeply indebted to the Snapchat friends of “thebwog.”
Why doesn’t CC have inflatables @yourCCSC ? #CUCommencement14

We just had a wonderfully harmonized national anthem sung by a trio including V119’s Olivia Harris — Bwog (@bwog) May 21, 2014

@CC 15 Good riddance. ’14 sucks. I’m the king of this school now b*tches
@Sad Alum If interested, write to me at sadalum75@gmail.com
@Sad(ish) Grad Holy shit. It all goes by so FUCKING fast.
To those who remain: hold fast, fast, fast to that spirit of youth.
@Seriously I was waiting for this moment ever since freshman year, and now that its here I just want to cry and go back to day 1. I miss everyone already and its only been 1 day since we’ve all moved out.
@Sad Alum Welcome to the club, my friends. It’s only downhill from here.
@Tyrion Lannister “HOLD FAST, ARCHERS OF BLACKWATER BAY!”
@BC '16 Hammers clearly represent the male anatomy, which is after all a vehicle for sexual assault. Columbia is just clueless. Stop drinking the patriarchy’s kool aid that conveniently has made many of us rape apologists.
@question mark Can’t tell if this is making fun of Barnard or SEAS
@BC '15 Let me guess by that you mean all women are incapable of thinking. Well discount our accomplishments all you want we are going to win because gender inequality must end. And you know what else has to end rape. When someone steals your laptop its not an excuse that they thought that the laptop wanted to be stolen. So stop trying to tell us we wanted it. We didn’t you just raped us anyway. And don’t go on about how you were drunk that is not an excuse for raping someone. When I get drunk I don’t just go around and commit felonies! You have to have an evil streak to start committing acts of violence just because you are drunk. But I guess its just in vino veritas right? When men get drunk they show their true colors as rapists like all of them are.
@SEAS What about the hammers representing the 4 years of hard work that all engineering students put in to graduate?
@Anonymous Congratulations all! This is probably one of the most beautiful commencements in the nation.
@WHERE WAS MY LION? ???? LOOKED FORWARD TO MY INFLATABLES ALL FOUR YEARS FOR THIS???
@Last picture “Convocation”
@Anonymous Looks like it was taken from Carman, so stupid freshman.
@Try again Carman is currently being used to house families. No freshmen live there. And I would like to note that you were probably a “stupid freshman” at some point.
@Actually a freshman took this, as they’re on my Snapchat list (and on Bwog’s).
An honest mistake, I bet everyone has exchanged the two words.
Especially since comensar in Spanish means to start, and convocate means to come together (like at the end of something). Oh, language!
Nonetheless, congrats grads!
@a native spanish speaker comenzar*
@cat començar*
@uhhh you do realize that “commence” means start in English, right? just checkin’
