Yesterday, Columbia’s Journalism School inadvertently flooded the inboxes of hundreds of media members after an invitation to Columbia’s Career Expo turned into a chain of shared emails. Every reply of “get me off this list”, “stop sending emails asking to get off this list” and “lololololol” went out to everyone the Journalism School had invited […]
Firefighters have been at the Citibank on 111th and Broadway since approximately 5:20am when a fire broke out. As of 12 pm firefighters are still on scene working to put out the flames. Even thought Citibank is a stand-alone building there is believed to be damage to The Heights next door. According to DNAinfo New […]
Things have been happening in the wide world while Columbia students are still hibernating on break. Here are some Columbia-related things you might have missed. Columbia is trying to beat Chicago to erect a Barack Obama library. However, plans for a Prezbo library are pure speculation. (Chicago Business) The Dean of Advising for Columbia College […]
Bwog is still waiting on a few grades, and judging by the comments, you are too. But it might not be entirely your professor’s fault: according to an email sent out to 1007 students by Prof. John Kender, Columbia’s grading system is more than 30 years old. Columbia processes grades by using a system that […]
A new year, a new perspective. Today we take a moment to look back on the first half of the year and think on what’s to come. If last fall was about exploring how we talk, this past semester was about putting our learned lessons to use. With no massive scandal or campus-wide debate abyss, […]
Registration for spring Panhellenic formal recruitment ended on Wednesday at midnight, and now PNMs (Potential New Members) will wait until early February to start the stressful four-day process. For the next month, they’ll search for the one sorority of the five that fits them best. In the interim, current sisters will try to represent their […]
A resident on the second floor of Broadway left a window open—yes, for all of break—which reportedly caused a pipe to burst, which caused a big spill. Public Safety confirmed that they are in there, trying to clean things up. The pipe burst an hour ago, btw. We hope your room won’t be flooded if […]
And so 2014 follows in the footsteps of her ancestors: our teachers still have not posted our grades on SSOL. Despite the fact that final grades were due on January 2nd, some teachers feel they are above the law and have not done so. Well you know what Bwog says? Those teachers deserve an F a big […]
According to an email from DSpar: Karen Blank, Dean of Studies at Barnard since 1993, has died. She was at Columbia since 1984, when she served as Columbia’s associate dean of student affairs. Blank had been on medical leave since January 2012. She was set to retire at the end of this past semester. Spar’s […]
Oh my! Because the Common App is terrible, Columbia has extended the RD deadline, just like they had to for the ED deadline. The deadline is now 11:59 pm on January 6 (literally the last minute of the Christmas season). In addition to extending the deadline, a post on the Admissions site says, harried applicants can […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! We asked our staff to take a minute to put down their drinks, detach the strangers from their faces, and get serious about 2014. Behold, our New Year’s Resolutions that we’re definitely going to keep for more than two weeks! Definitely! Being a Real Person I’ll get more sleep… well at least […]
Sooo we messed up—in going through emails, Bwog found a Senior Wisdom we’d forgotten to post along with the rest. Huge apologies to Savannah for the delay on this, but trust us, this is a gem of a Senior Wisdom and well worth the wait. Name, Hometown, School: Savannah Fletcher; I hail from an island north […]
