To be honest, Bwog did not know what exactly the “Nonfiction Dialogue” with writer Luc Sante was, but it seemed neither did the Columbia Arts Initiative, which played host to it. Their event description was scant on details; the hyperlinks they provided were broken. Spooky. The mystery alone would have been enough to draw us […]
Senior Staff Writer (and potential Comp Sci major?) Rachel Deal sat down with Piyali Mukherjee and Annie Zhang to talk about their success at last weekend’s HackMIT competition. Last weekend, a team of four Columbia students came in third place at HackMIT, a hackathon hosted every year at MIT. The team was made up of juniors […]
This week on Chopped: Bwog Edition, two fresh-faced Bwog staffers make the trek down to 113th Street to cobble together a meal for Senior Staff Writer Rachel Deal. Using only their wits and the contents of a sophomore’s fridge, photographer Phoebe Newton and another staffer present a recipe perfect for combating academic fatigue. Even though we’re […]
The Pope is in town today! Word on the street is he will be on the UWS at some point, so try to sneak down and get a pic after your 10:10 AM language class gets out. (NBC News) Fader just put out a new cover story on Drake and we remembered why we love […]
Finding good, private study spaces at Columbia is a challenge, but a challenge Bwog writers were willing to undertake. Betsy Ladyzhets and Juliet Larsen report on nooks and crannies that might just be able to hold you, a backpack, and some textbooks for a few hours. Tired of lugging your textbooks all the way to […]
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?
