September:

We started the semester off strong with the delicious review of the opening of Raising Canes, covered by Deputy Science Editor Zora Day-Friedland. In a meta twist on ClubHop, Staffer Manaia Taula-Lieras club hopped the club fair. She gave some shoutouts to some great clubs, including Chowdah Sketch Comedy and Active Minds. 

Staff Writer Mackenzie Connor attended a drag workshop hosted by the Institute for the Study of Sexuality and Gender, and Elizabeth Rhodes covered the 14th Annual Morningside Lights parade through campus.

Bwog also attended the World Leaders Forum, with an article about a talk with Secretary General Alain Berset of the Council of Europe and Staffer Ashna Shah writing about an event with the former President of Spain Pedro Sanchez. Keeping it international, Staff Writer Amairha Pokala wrote about her experience chatting over coffee in Italian. 

October:

The next month was a productive and educational time for events. Spotlighting National Native American Heritage Month, Deputy News Editor Mackenzie Tott wrote about efforts to revitalize Native American languages and cultures, while Staff Writer Keahi Harper covered the creativity and artistic expression of the community.

Managing Editor Renee Bales covered Karissa Chen’s new book Homeseeking, and Gina Brown visited the Hind’s House exhibition. 

Taking a break from learning, Staff Writer Mel Yu wrote about the Devotion and Distraction lecture series at the Institute for Religion, Culture and Public Life. Experiencing Night Market 2025 was a fun break from midterms for Emma Chung. If you’ve ever wondered what a Columbia University Life event was like, look no further than this Events piece about card games. 

November:

Bwog attended the NYC Village Halloween Parade and saw some crazy costumes.

Coming out of midterms, Bwog was active in attending events. Amairha continued her interest in Italian, attending the Jhumpa Lahiri and Alessandro Giammei discussion about Rome and writing. 

Staff covered a political analysis lecture after the New York City mayoral election. Bwog also covered a film from DOC NYC, a documentary film festival about the loneliness epidemic. 

Rounding out the Events coverage of the fall, Mackenzie Tott wrote about how archivists approach their personal collections.
