45 CommentsAlthough no official announcement has been made (yet), Bwog tipsters have informed us that this year’s valedictorian and salutatorian will be Emily Clader and Mollie Schwartz.
Clader, a Mathematics/Philosophy double major, was also early Phi Beta Kappa, and a Bach Society alto to boot. Schwartz, a chemical physics major, is no stranger to prestigious awards: last year she won a Goldwater Scholarship. Congratulations to both!

@PBK phi beta kappa is already announced
@are these names confirmed for val and sal?
@yep They’re for sure.
@In defence of alum The hostility with which comment 12 was received is really telling of the type of people Columbia seems to draw. Angry, self-important, completely intolerant of others who have differing views. It is certainly an irony that card carrying liberals are generally the most closed-minded, bigoted, extreme people I have ever met.
@wow people on the internet are assholes.
in other news, the sky is blue and columbia’s bureaucracy sucks.
anyway, i’ve never met mollie schwartz, but i’ve met emily clader, and i think she’s cool, wicked smart, and very cute. and yes, i’m a straight guy etc.
@curious hypothesizer is there a particular day at which the cutoff for the val/sal grade competition ends?
For example, could these 2 now completely blow off school from here on out (not take their finals, not do final projects, etc.) and still be val/sal? I realize neither will do this, but I’m thinking in the hypothetical here…
@Hmmmm2 Oh, and PBK is mid-May. check the cuwiki.
@Hmmm... Just a side note – if both of them were guys no one would be calling them ugly.
Congrats to both! That’s awesome.
@Vain I would; ugly is ugly. That applies to both genders.
@Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you both! What a great honor!
@unknowledgable 2010'er when do SEAS V&S get announced?
@Wait?! That’s how you spell “Salutatorian”? Wow, I’m a doofus
@For the record Mollie is a Bach Society alto, too.
@and just for the record- both of them have to have GPAs over 4.0 by definition:

@sad so envious – wish i were graduating with some sort of award this year too! but congrats guys.
@not Clader/Schwartz I’m graduating to my parents’ basement.
@Awards A bunch of senior awards will be announced by the end of this week, and Kings Crowns go out tomorrow. Not sure about PBK, which is the most important one.
@haters to the left They are both beautiful! Congratulations Emily and Mollie!
@Mollie! Mollie is in my class and shes uber cute! yay her! Damn I didn’t know she knew sciences too….jeeeez
@Just so Third’d.
@Alum Bwog calls these ladies “Your” valedictorian and salutatorian, but that’s only true for readers who are current CC seniors. That leaves out 21,000 of CU’s 22,000 students, to say nothing of alumni, faculty and other non-students who visit this site. It wouldn’t have been that hard to say “CC’s” instead of “your”.
@Anonymous you are annoying
@yes... you suck soooooo much
@stfu leave
@all right I’ll bite, what’s your name, and what corner of the university are you the valedictorian of? And do grad students actually read this?
@yes we do
-Grad Student
@no, no actually we don’t.
@wow so envious.
From a quick fbook stalk (sorry ladies, curiosity got the better of me) it looks like they both have academic post-grad plans — yes? How will they find time to take over the world with the hectic life of a grad students who (apparently) don’t even have time for a quick glace at our good ‘ol bwog ?
@sounds like perry just sayin’
@hey vaginer.
@numbers 22,000 people aren’t graduating this year. Your point is noted, but if you consider CC as a whole, then it’s 4,000 out of 22,000. Just sayin’
@Dude, seriously It’s fucking Alumnus, not Alum! It annoys the shit out of me, not because you can’t use the word correctly, but the combination with your self-righteous indignation. You post this bullshit all the time. You are out of college–fucking do something useful for humanity with your degree!
@... have other awards been announced yet? like the rest of PBK and class prizes, etc?
@Alum Fwiw, the valedictorian and salutatorian of the first fully co-ed class (in 1987) were also both women.
@hooray! smart people!
@actually they both look adorable…but regardless of their appearance, congrats ladies! Well done.
@aww... … idiotic sexism! Reminds me of the knee-jerk reaction of the neanderthals at my high school to their whip-smart girl valedictorian. But Emily pwns the trolls above: she’s attractive, funny, takes & rapes graduate math & philosophy classes…
@hmph! Real neanderthals do not deserve to be compared to misogynists! They had bigger brains than you! And you might even have some neanderthal blood in you, so watch it before someone with a really large brow ridge and a stocky build comes and clubs yo ass…
@Random, but Would that be called an Anth-Rant?
@Congrats That’s huge guys… ignore the bitter commentary above
@Damn.... It’s too bad both girls are uuuuu-glay
@are you jealous much?
@what are their gpa’s?
@holla! yayyy both are women!!!
@Misogynist Everyone knows thats just because Home Ec is an easy A+.
