Today (well, technically yesterday at sundown) is the holiest day of the Jewish year, Yom Kippur. On this Day of Atonement, Jews fast and pray solemnly for forgiveness of the past year’s sins. Completing the Ten Days of Awe that started with Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur is reserved for Jews to prove their devotion to […]

We stopped making out and she pulled the Chewbacca action figure out of my pants, putting it closer to her good eye.

This summer, Columbia introduced the Financial Econ major, allowing undergrads to enroll in B-School classes (and perhaps partake in B-School bacchanalia) and inching Columbia a little closer to pre-professionalism. Today, that inch becomes a mile: the Center for Student Advising has just announced a Special Concentration in Business Management. You can apply here. The Concentration […]

Columbia students will be shooting a short video on the Millennium Development Goals at 6 PM at the Sundial, and they need lots of extras. Free pizza (this time hopefully warm) will be provided. Bwog guesses that this video is being created in anticipation of this weekend’s Millennium Campus Conference, a meeting of student leaders to discuss international […]

On Wednesday night, Columbia’s Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture hosted Dr. Genshitsu Sen, the former Grand Master of the Urasenke school of the Japanese tea ceremony. Bwog, recognizing that there is such a thing as too much coffee, spent the evening in the audience at Casa Italiana, to learn about the Japanese tea ceremony, […]

Last night in the Roone Auditorium, the Muslim Students Association held their annual Fast-A-Thon. This year benefited Pakistani flood relief. The attendees had mostly been fasting since sunrise, so people came hungry. The program began with a call to prayer, and then those inclined were invited to pray. Following that, food was distributed and the […]
