Today is the eleventh anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. Similar to last year, we direct your attention to some reflections on 9/11. In 2005, NPR interviewed members of the Barnard Class of 2005, who were freshmen during the attacks. Last year, the Eye spoke to alums […]
Update: A commenter says that FTFs are actually part of LionLink, not ARC. We’re not sure the distinction matters, but there you go.

Maren Killackey braves political promises and an ice cream buffet to bring you the updates from the first CCSC meeting of the year. The Satow Room abnormally peopled with student leaders, overachieving freshmen, and ice cream-loving freeloaders, the air of last night’s inaugural Columbia College Student Council meeting was rife with anticipation and excitement, albeit […]
