Bwog sees things other people wouldn’t notice because it’s Bwog’s job. Who else would keep Columbia update on squirrel antics? Who else would try to do a liveblog of a library? Perhaps most importantly, who else would identify questionable patterns in administrator behavior? While reminiscing and going through old pictures, this gem of a PrezBo […]
This morning, a small crowd came out to observe the unveiling of the Diana Center’s new mural, the brainchild of SGA arts and culture representative Adrienne Nel, BC ’16, in order to bring more public art to campus. Attendees included Debora Spar (although Bwog cannot confirm any of her dance/zumba moves) and the Columbia Clefhangers, […]

Today from 4-5 in Held Auditorium (on the third floor of Barnard Hall) there will be a memorial service for Rudi Lawrence, who was, according to one tipster, “an amazing man and well-loved access attendant in Sulz for over seven years.” Please come and celebrate the life of this WHOLE-HEARTED man. Many of us knew him […]

Welcome to day two of reading week, hopefully you haven’t already burned through the Starbucks gift card your mom gave you. As things start to get a little #dark now that you realize that research paper you thought you had forever to do is, in fact, due tomorrow. Or maybe that’s just Bwog. To take […]
Our next Senior Wisdom is from Roko Rumora, once described as “Roko Rumora, art historian and noted homosexual” by the leading daily newspaper of Croatia. Name, Hometown, School, Major: Good evening, America. I’m Roko, and though I may look like I’m GS’14 – GS 1914 even – I’m a regular CC’14-er. I study Art History […]
With the death grip of finals slowly tightening like a noose around our necks, Bwog felt it would be best to bring some humor and joy back to everyone’s lives. The talented and beloved Bwog Video team met up with Columbia’s all-female improv group, Control Top, for some laughs on Bwog and Graduation. Some basic background […]
We called, and you answered. Here are the parting words of your dear, beloved professors, some of whom you have probably already forgotten / repressed / never met because you didn’t go to class. Read them and feel some sort of hope for your finals; feel free to leave your own in the comments and […]

Here is the official announcement: After 27 years of service to the Columbia community, our beloved Wilma Jordan will retire at the end of […]
“Before I Die…,” the thought-provoking art installment that appeared at Columbia for some time last week, elicited sentence-completing thoughts that ranged from deep to inspiring to ridiculous to annoying (looking at you, kid who wants to turn into a penguin). The concept left a lot of room for different interpretations, so we created a list of […]
