Columbia may not always excel on the playing field, but when it comes to sports of the intellectual variety, we fare rather well. Last week, our Parliamentary Debate Team faced off against Harvard in a public debate hosted by Halogen TV and recapped in the New York Times.

Chabad Lubavitch has conveniently set up a super-mobile sukkah on Broadway between 113th and 114th streets for your religious observance needs.

You may have seen it in the news yesterday morning, but we just wanted to make sure you were aware that Columbia’s endowment is flush with hard-earned and successfully-invested dollars. $7.8 billion of them in fact, (you might be interested to know that the cost of Manhattanville was pegged at $7 billion). Think about all […]
A tipster sent in this somewhat Monet-esque picture of the Man himself carb-ing up in the snack tent before the big game. UPDATE: Thanks to Kylie Rogers, also spotted was Ke$ho snacking on some popcorn while posing for pictures with students. UPDATE: Mailing Wu snapped a picture of PrezBo posing with some students in a […]
After many grueling hours of speculation in the lab, Bwog has decided that this QR code we spotted will take you one of three places: 1) A treasure map leading to a hidden plate of really moist muffins 2) A porn site 3) The AEPi homecoming party this Saturday Are you daring enough to find […]
