Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Our recommendations for this week are below and the full list is after the jump. Recommended “NYS Dream Act: Educational Equity for Undocumented New Yorkers” Tuesday, […]

In the latest installment of funny CU ladies making it big, we present to you Kate McKinnon, CC ’06 and alumna of VShow 109 (alongside Jenny Slate). Last night, she made her SNL debut, and as a tipster put it, “In her first show alone, she’s gotten more screen time than Jay Pharoah dreams about. Jokes, […]

There’s no better way to recover from a long, tiring day of Easter egg hunting and chocolate coma than to eat more free food. As much as Bwog hates pastel dresses, we’re relying on you to resurrect campus life with your spirit and eternal wit. Come on over with pitches and snark to the SGO in […]

‘Nuff said.

Bwog is all about faux matrimonies, especially ones that take place in the sandbox, but Low will certainly do. This year’s Hangama celebration, the mock Pakistani wedding hosted by Columbia’s Organization of Pakistani Students and NYU’s Pakistani Students Association, was sure to please. The groom from NYU sweeping in on horseback to meet his beautiful Columbian bride, Amirah […]

If you’re trying to avoid the same ol’ Butler crowd by heading to the law school, think again. There’s a whole lotta flooding, and according to an officer holding the fort, it is the cause of a pipe that spans one of the top floors. But hurry up if you want to practice your breast […]

Instead of ogling at the overpriced cheese at the Farmer’s Market, CU OPS, NYU PSA, and AHIMSA have a better idea for you. Your time is best spent at Hangama, the mock Pakistani wedding taking place at Low Plaza from 2 to 5 pm this afternoon. In addition to kite-flying, horse back riding, and traditional […]

In AskBwog, we tackle hard hitting issues facing American teens today. Dear Bwog editors, Class registration for Fall 2012 is fast-approaching (scary!), and I need to take a global core class. I’m writing you for help picking a class, and also because I’m sure many other CC students would appreciate Bwog’s input as well. I […]

As much as we thought eating chocolate eggs and wearing fun pastel dresses showcased our religious devotion on Easter, it turns out we’re all just a bunch of pagans. (Daily Kos) In case you questioned whether or not you’re literate, you are. Woot. (The Atlantic) Those hipsters in Brooklyn might be on to something. The […]

A nighttime wanderer encountered this assertive sign inside Morton Williams, crying its outrage to innocent evening shoppers. We don’t know who Brandi is, but MoWils seems to mean business.

Last night, in the basement of St. Paul’s Chapel, Postcrypt Art Gallery held an exhibition simply titled ABACUS. It was curated by Ema O’Connor, CC ’14, and featured artists Kaela Chambers and Leah Wolff examining how scientific knowledge and imagination develop through life. Avid Art Historian Conor Skelding walked downstairs. Gallery goers came and went, and the population […]

Grab your lab coats and slap on your safety goggles, because the world of science is in turmoil. Sort of. This week Zealous Xenobiologist Zach Kagan brings you exciting tales of global warming, stem cells, the secrets of the the brain and more. Last Wednesday Havemeyer Hall became a battleground over the future direction of Neuroscience research. In a […]

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, Asian American Alliance, and Hunter College’s Coalition for the Revitalization of Asian American Studies at Hunter are joining forces tonight to present Lifting the Veil: The Plight of Asian American Studies Within the University. The event will feature guest panelist Jennifer Hayashida (of Hunter College), and will be accompanied by delicious Dinsosaur […]

We all have stuff, and lots of it. By May 12th, that stuff has to be out of our current Columbia housing. So what are you going to do with it? Even if you’re staying in the city, there will be some items you would rather tuck away for the summer. The Housing Website has […]

Theatre Theorizer Alex Katz wants you to pause your video of Downton Abbey,  stop making your “Bring Arrested Development Back” signs, and go see an original play about a wealthy family who lost everything and the one (adopted) son who had no choice but to destroy their lives for good. Here’s his take on CUPlayers’ The Cherry […]
