Yes, the sad rumors are true: the School of Continuing Education is no more. The School of Continuing Education has been laid to rest. The School of Continuing Education may live on in our hearts, but will no longer live on in official Columbia promotional materials. Instead, it will continue under the guise of the School of Professional Studies. The name […]

Columbia and Barnard haven’t always had great basketball teams, but they’ve certainly seen some notable games over the years. Their most recent victory this past weekend led Nadra Rahman to delve deep into the sports archives for this week’s #TBT, where she discovered a game with more meaning than merely dribbling, shooting, and scoring. The women’s basketball […]

Everyone knows the weekend really starts on Thursday nights. Everyone also knows that doing homework is physically impossible between Thursday night and Sunday morning. So, why not spend your time taking advantage of the free fun (and, more importantly, free food) that Columbia has to offer? In the spirit of procrastination and free stuff, Bwog […]

At the Missouri University of Science and Technology, a number of anonymous threats against the college’s black students put the campus on high alert. The threats are most likely in response to recent protests that raised racial tension at the college.

Below you can also find some of Bwog’s pictures […]

Bwog has received tips from multiple RAs confirming updated RA procedures for investigating incidents of the use of marijuana in dorms: If an RA smells marijuana from a dorm room, they will initially knock on the door and, if the resident answers, the RA will write up the incident as usual.

GSSC deals with a lot of issues during the year, including food insecurity, funding proposals, and student entertainment. But if the heart of GSSC doesn’t function, everything grinds to a halt. That’s why Bureau Chief Joe Milholland is covering GSSC’s plans to get a new projector, as well as other, less immediate, matters discussed this week. […]

Barnard College’s plethora of unique traditions (who else stuffed themselves to the gills at Big Sub, be honest) are always something to look forward to. Even though the college is undergoing some huge changes right now (RIP BarnLib) and some less-huge changes (the Magnolia is only moving a 10-second walk away, you can relax), its […]

Update 11/16: Around 4:50 this afternoon, NBC News posted an article titled “An American Missing in Paris? Family Searching for Austin Taylor,” detailing all that is known about the missing GS student.

This weekend I avoided homework, frat parties, and sporting events, and participated in a revelatory experience: the Intergroup Community Building Initiative (ICBI), hosted by Barnard Student Life and Columbia University Office of Multicultural Affairs. The goal of the conference was to “build real connections across different identity communities, make new friendships, and become engaged in […]

There were several students at the SGA meeting last night looking to have their voices heard, far more than I have ever seen at SGA before (usually it’s just Spec and me….). The floor opened with several students voicing their concerns about Barnard students’ new ineligibility for the pre-NSOP CUE initiative. The students wondered how all four […]

Or, you know, you could just have some […]
