This week, voting is taking place for CC, SEAS, and BC student government positions for the class of 2019, as well as CC 2018 Class Council and Inclusion and Equity Representatives. You might already have been aware of this fact if you saw our post on the subject, or if you’ve, well, been in any […]

As the thirteenth annual World Leaders Forum approaches, we thought we’d take a #tbt to the very first of these exciting events. Mia Lindheimer found all that was said and done at the monumental “celebrity marquee,” courtesy of the Columbia Spectator Archives. In September 2003, Columbia welcomed the likes of eight world leaders, including the one […]

In Bwog’s newest music series, “Sounds of CU,” we will take you on a symphonic stroll across the University, making pit stops at some of its most famous landmarks. We’ll craft a playlist for you to jam to in that week’s location that matches the vibe of the building or hangout spot. First up is […]

Yesterday in Alaska, north Texas man was mauled by a bear while hunting moose – which is, apparently, still something people feel the need to do. The man, sustained several lacerations, but is expected to make a full recovery. If he’d been hunting moose anywhere near Barnard, our local bears likely would not have been nearly […]

In quaint Hewitt fashion, a temporary beeping noise (barely) interrupts diners just about every hour. The reliable noise causes no one to stir, and people continue to munch, socialize, or watch Netflix on a side table. But what is the source? Aliens? An undercover Soviet sleeper cell? PrezBo’s private subway stop? Daily Editor Betsy Ladyzhets, unlike […]

You’ve stared longingly into the seductive eyes adorning their CV, wondering if one day, just maybe, you could wake up next to them and discuss sustainable development over chocolate fondue. Maybe you’re just looking for a fling and bonus points on the midterm. Maybe you want something built to last, with someone who can rapidly […]

Ever wonder what dorm guards do in their spare time? Ever walk into Carman and hear some chill beats and velveteen vocals in the background? Bwog had Daily Editor Finn Klauber capture the romantic essence contained in the mixtape, The Master of Love, of Carman security guard Michael Layne. It’s easy to find yourself tapping […]

Columbia has a new sexual health and violence initiative on campus, called the Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation. Led by professors of public health and psychiatry, SHIFT can be found observing community interactions on campus, in the libraries, or at local bars. The research generated by SHIFT–including ethnographic studies, interviews, and surveys–will help reform […]

Pope Francis landed yesterday in Washington, greeted by the Obamas, Catholic school children, and friendly chanting. Francis is the fourth Pope to visit the United States, nearly 50 years after Paul VI first visited. Just keep an eye out on Thursday (and send any pics you take to Bwog) when he’ll be in New York. […]

Like a preteen’s young, supple body, our campus is always changing. For the better or worse, this semester alone has seen plenty of changes brought to MoHi, which is why we’re here to help you determine which new on-campus feature best aligns with your ever so charming personality.

Are you ready? Get your voting hat on (what? You don’t have a voting hat? Bwog’s is a snazzy bowler cap) because this year’s First Year Columbia student government candidate list has been released! Here are the lists of candidates for First Year CCSC and ESC Elections, in addition to the candidates for the CCSC […]

Bwog’s veteran Barnard Bearoness, Maddie Stearn, is back to give you the SGA news you’ve been craving these past few months. Sure, you said that you would be happy watching Netflix for the rest of your life, but we know that you still want to know about Student Government. Be an informed citizen! Democracy! Who’s […]

Ever had the urge to mercilessly roast the Columbia community? Have big dreams of one day achieving a level of self-deprecating humor comparable to ours at Bwog? Did you read Aziz Ansari’s new book and think “psh. I can write better jokes than this clown” (keep dreaming, kiddo)? Swing by the 122nd Annual Varsity Show […]

What’s worth more than a drug that could help thousands of people survive a life-threatening parasitic infection? Money ($$$), at least according to sketchy former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli.  (New York Times) “What A Time To Be Alive” indeed… Future and Drake just dropped a mixtape and it is fire. One appreciative fan recommends listening […]

Columbia students are great at finding new and creative ways to hurt themselves, physically and emotionally. Sometimes there’s a reward, but usually the result is deep and existential dread/the shattering of a once dearly-held worldview, just like an angry 1020 line-dweller shattered a V&T window during the wait to get in. To contribute, share details […]
