Despite one Columbians’ efforts to save precious reading material/most students’ midnight snack cutting boards, some of us seem to be done with our books before the semester is even over. A shot of the corner of 113th and Broadway is proof:

Name, Hometown, School: Leah Greenbaum, Newport Beach, CA. A global citizen of Columbia College Claim to Fame: Spec’s campus news editor; that girl who always begged professors for extensions; that girl who interviewed you once about SGB; that girl who transfered from UC Berkeley and still wears flared levis sometimes/a lot.

According to an email just sent out by Dean Shollenberger and his GS counterpart, all graduating seniors in CC, SEAS, and GS will be able to enter the lottery for tickets to Barnard’s Commencement ceremony (the one with the President speaking)—which was previously open only to Barnard students.

It’s BwogSalon, a feature in which we get a chance to look at other Columbia publications for more procrastination material and the fantastic work they are doing. Today, we’re exploring What is Global Health? (WiGH?), a science philosophy podcast and digital publication. Check out the fancy pants podcast’s last episode called “Game Changers,” which features Christia […]

This isn’t some event attempting to spruce up your eyelashes, but if you make it to the Van Am Quad between 12 to 1 pm today, you can snag lip balm among other free giveaways to remake your look in time for Finals. The SDA is providing free drawstring sports packs, flyers, sunscreen, water bottles, […]

A photograph of PrezBo’s face lands itself on Wikipedia’s homepage as the featured picture of the day. He appears pensive and distinguished—concerned about the Core, financial aid, and diversity all at once—while his coif remains perfectly intact. Ain’t he a beaut?

It’s the last day of classes and as much you’d like to convince yourself that you’re going to start studying for finals, there is drinking to be done. Live it up while you can as some sketchy Department of Health reports indicate that there may no longer be Happy Hour in our big and bright […]

Next up, Don Cheadle Peter Wallerson. Nomination form here. Name, Hometown, School, Major: Peter Wallerson, Brooklyn NY, SEAS Biomedical Engineering Claim to Fame: Hotel Rwanda, Crash, Ocean’s Eleven, Brooklyn’s Finest, most recently House of Lies… But really though, the other day I went to see Seminar on Broadway (got Alan Rickman’s autograph and it was awesome, but […]

SPEARS: The Gospel According to Britney, Pat Blute’s musical which professed to pair The Greatest Story Ever Told with The Greatest Music Ever Written, ran for the last time at 8 pm last night, in Barnard’s Glicker-Milstein Theatre. Conor Skelding went. On the jaded Columbia campus, SPEARS’s premise – using the music of Britney Spears to […]

Puppies are back! Or they will be next Sunday in Fur-nald and John Jay lounges from 1 – 4 pm. They’re actually more like therapy dogs, but puppies has a better ring to it, right? Anyways, the Bwog staff was so excited that we put together a gallery of our own puppies for your— well […]

The 2012 spring season is coming to a close as most teams enter the final countdown to the conclusion of competition. Though course grades won’t be out for a few more weeks, we can take a look at how the Lions have stacked up this spring. The Men’s Tennis team finished up at 2nd place […]

Don’t worry, we’ll all be there for each other. Join the Bwog staff tonight for the final meeting of Spring 2012, 7 pm in the Lerner SGO. Perhaps the hypothetical naysayer inside of you asks if it’s too late to get involved? On the contrary, now is when we need you most! So come by […]

As would-be theater-goers lined up earlier today to pick up tickets for the last performance of the 118th Annual Varsity Show, Bwog found itself sappily pining for a fourth night. Anyone up for a good old-fashioned protest?

In “Significant Other,” Conor Skelding examines the Core at the University of Chicago and how it compares to our own. Look for this and more in the April issue of The Blue & White, on campus this week. The Core Curriculum is the defining feature of Columbia College’s intellectual identity. Undergraduates who chose Columbia specifically for its […]

It’s the end of the semester and the end of BunsenBwog for another year. While last week focused on science’s somber stories, today Bwog’s enthusiastic arborist Zach Kagan brings you amazing accounts of nature in a world altered by man. New York City is an “urban heat island,” a zone of increased temperatures caused by the high heat […]
