Seriously, 10/10, Would Recommend. Going in, I […]

You know it’s an interesting SGA meeting when Deborah Spar says, “This is the point in the conversation where I usually have to turn to my lawyer.” Not to worry, though, Barnard’s favorite celebrity is legally in the clear. Her lawyer comment came in response to a question about the line between students and the […]

On Thursday evening resident Bwogger Maddie Stearn attended a talk hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute.

Barnard Bearoness Maddie Stearn is back to bring you news from Monday night’s SGA meeting, and much to the council’s chagrin, reports on free food (because that’s what’s really important, right?).
