Tonight, we received a tip regarding a conversation on the official Columbia College Class of 2018 Facebook page. A student posted in the group asking if classmates knew of any Contemporary Civilization sessions taught by “a professor of color.” The post has since inspired a conversation concerning people of color’s (POCs) rights to attend classes taught by professors who are […]

This evening, we received an email from a representative of the Columbia delegation for the Latinx Ivy League Conference including an email sent to President Bollinger. The email outlines an incident this past weekend involving one of the delegates from Dartmouth with police at Brown. The tip also included the student’s story about the night’s events. […]

As the semester pushes onward, most of us have stopped caring what we wear to class (or what we wear to the dining halls, or the libraries, or what we look like altogether). But for the faculty, this doesn’t seem to be an issue. Professors at Columbia have their own style, and we at Bwog are impressed. […]

This one goes out to all the Arctic Monkeys fans out there. In the words of the illustrious Alex Turner, “I’m going back to 505, if it’s a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive.” We know you can’t resist the sultry tones of Turner. So come on back to Lerner 505 – it’s […]

The glory days of the Ivy League Snapchat Story are long gone, and we feel a little bad for the poor souls who have to monitor all the drunk snaps that come through every night. To combat the Filter Fatigue that’s infected Columbia, Bwog decided to create some Snapchat filters of our own. We thought we’d […]

A day after the Paris Attacks, the world is reeling from the incident. As we try to make sense out of something so senseless, many have come forward with their own responses. We have chosen to focus Bwoglines this week solely on this topic. Many notable figures have made comments about the causes behind the attacks, including Syrian […]

Stargazing, astronomy, science, math, dark matter, and ghost galaxies, all on Friday, November the 13th? Sounds almost too spooky for life. Bwog sent junior staffer and budding astrophysicist Phoebe Newton to last evening’s edition of Columbia Astronomy’s monthly “Stargazing and Lecture Series.” Here’s her overview. Droves of locals and Columbia students gathered last night for […]

Looking back, Bwog might have jumped the gun with the first Chopped: Sophomore Slump recipe. It was early in the semester, your fridge was still stocked with some of the groceries your mom left you, and you actually had the energy to concoct a real meal. Now, it’s the tail end of midterm season and […]

Today’s college students may be youthful, physically fit, wildly intelligent, extracurricularly engaged, and former “leaders” of their high schools, but they’re not actually superhuman–they, too, are subject to illnesses, injuries, viruses, diseases, and unwanted pregnancies. Bwogger Rachel Deal investigates just how easy it is to make appointments at Columbia Health, a *potential* cure for these […]

After dabbling in déboulés (amongst other things) last year, Deputy Dance Dynamo Mason Amelotte couldn’t help but lunge at the opportunity to review Columbia Ballet Collaborative’s annual fall showcase. He thusly offers his thoughts and opinions on last night’s opening performances. Avid balletomanes took to Lincoln Center last evening to see the first of two […]

Terrorists killed at least 153 people in attacks last night across Paris, including at a restaurant, a concert hall, and a France-Germany soccer match. American buildings including One World Trade Center, were lit up with the French national colors. (CNN) Harvard Law professors denounced the documentary The Hunting Ground, which discusses rape on college campuses […]

Columbia University and Barnard College have just released statements on Friday night’s terrorist attacks in Paris.  “Based on rapid outreach there, we believe that all Columbia students and faculty at the Paris Global Center are safe and accounted for,” Columbia’s statement, which was posted on Facebook, reads. Similarly, Barnard sent an email confirming all Barnard students studying […]

The first thing I noticed when walking into the East Gallery of Buell Hall (which I learned was also the Maison Francaise upon looking up the venue) was just how many people had packed into the room. I knew The Meursault Investigation, named after the book which was to be discussed that night, was going […]
