Love Bwog but hate writing? Join Bwog tech!

Breaking news about a toxic club? Ranking Columbia dining halls a million different ways? Making fun of something a professor did on Zoom? Columbia’s #1 source for everything happening on campus, Bwog articles cover every possible facet of being a student here.

But what if you hate writing? Can you still get involved? Yes!

Do you love web development? Do you want to work on a site that is viewed 25k+ times a week? Do you want actual real-world experience you can put on your resume? And of course, do you want to be a part of a dope community and be the first to learn about all kinds of Columbia gossip, all without having to write a single article?
