Though Barnard today is often seen as an almost overly liberal and accepting environment, that wasn’t always the case. The Barnard Library is hosting a series of panels to address Barnard’s history, the first of which, “Guess Who’s Coming to Barnard?” happened on Monday evening. It was led by Professor Bob McCaughey and Mollie Galchus […]
Okay, Columbia students. This is it. The day you’ve been preparing for all week – no, all semester – no, all of your life. All of the sleepless nights spent in Butler, the points spent on Blue Java, the mountains of index cards spent on terms you’ll never need to know after college, it’s all […]
You might’ve heard (or perhaps noticed the special Snapchat filter in honor of the occasion): Columbia Giving Day was yesterday. Columbia raised over $11 million, and Barnard set a new record by raising over $300,000. Go, blue! (Official college Twitter feeds) A Nashville, Tennessee Metro Transit Authority bus rolled backwards into a coffeeshop at the […]
Are you ever amazed at the power of science to replicate and adapt the human body for the betterment of humankind? We sometimes are. Bunsen Burner Joanna Zhang is revealing the extent of biological research occurring at Columbia and how it may help you one day. Many Bwoggers have experienced the Netflix marathon craze during which you barricade yourself behind […]
Trekking through Butler 9, seeking our way to the slightly hidden and incredibly low-traffic private bathroom, we came across the remains of a pack of beef jerky. It seemed to have been quickly scarfed down and then stuffed into the crevices of the ninth floor wall. Weird, we thought, that hadn’t been there yesterday. When […]
How often do you keep up with GSSC’s The Owl? According to GSSC, you probably don’t read it at all. That’s okay, though, since Bwog has our own campus political pundit, Joe Milholland, who can tell you all about GSSC’s activities. “Basically, no one reads The Owl,” said General Studies Student Council President Elizabeth Heyman on Tuesday […]
This semester, The CU Players are tackling Jonathan Marc Sherman’s Things We Want. The playwright describes the show as a “dirty, sexy, suicide comedy,” and the cast seems to agree. The show goes up this Thursday night, October 22, at 8pm in the Lerner Black Box theater. But before the lights go dim, Bwogger and theater enthusiast […]
Midterms got you down? Need a break from the hustle and bustle of Butler life? Well, it’s a good thing Live at Lerner is hosting a study break. At 1 PM in the Piano Lounge you can treat yourself and listen to your favorite bands before hitting the books again. You can find their Facebook […]
Is Joe Biden running for President? He only has nine days to register his campaign with Georgia, which has the earliest deadline for its primaries. Nobody knows for certain, but it definitely sounds like he’s posturing for the Presidency. (Washington Post) The Canadian election was yesterday, resulting in a clear majority for Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party. […]
Who let the boys out of the sad, decrepit frat house/EC suite? And into an equally depressing fort on the Barnard Quad? This poor pledging tactic alerted the inner Gloria Steinem of Staff Writer and Barnard Quad-dweller Asya Sagnak to speak of these menacing men and their stupid demonstrations. Bwog has received photos and updates […]
Bwog Editor-In-Chief Britt Fossum had the fortunate opportunity to attend one of PrezBo’s intimate “fireside chats,” bringing a junior staffer along as her escort. The pair report back about the exclusive event to you here–lucky you! Another year, another fireside chat. Milling about in a crowd of freshmen and administrators, I felt like an expert at […]
SGA was a full house last night. Mary-Kate and Ashley were not there, but the presidents from CCSC, ESC, and GSSC were. SGA hosted and allowed the prezes to update us Barnard Bears on a little bit of what has been happening on the other side of Broadway. CCSC update: The food insecurity initiatives that Columbia […]
