As much of a spiritual experience as the midnight bike ride

As the entitled undergraduates that we are, we might think that valuable wisdom rests only in the hands of our fellow classmates. They’ve successfully wafted through their time here at Columbia, they understand what it’s like to be the small species in the big university kingdom, and we one day hope to be as cool as them.

Graduating seniors are only a fraction of the readily available wisdom present on this campus, and for the rest of the whole we should look to the hardworking, sometimes underpaid, and scholarly people that make up the professors at our school.

If you have a professor that you want to honor or ensure that their message is shared with those outside of your classroom, nominate them for an Actual Wisdom to tips@bwog.com by Friday, May 1 at 11:59 pm. They, too, will enjoy being prompted with the notorious oral sex vs. cheese question, so romantic motivations for nominating a professor are not discouraged. Be sure to include a short description on why said professor is deserving of a spread on this undergraduate news site, and we plan to start contacting these (most likely) old and wise academics soon!
