Our hellish experience at Activities Day (We are still recovering.), heavily influenced by the light reading one of us did to prepare for LitHum. Guest Writers Avery Baumel and Erika Avallone would definitely call four hours in 90-degree weather an Inferno.

We hope everybody is out enjoying the activities fair today (especially now that it’s not 100º outside)! If you’re anything like me, the more you walked around the endless rows of tables, the more you got to thinking about other clubs you wish we had here at Columbia. Of course anyone can always just start whatever club […]

You may have seen a life-sized cut-out of Beyonce wrapped in a rainbow flag at the activities fair today, and inside Lerner yesterday. Queen Bee was there advertising Columbia Queer Alliance’s First Friday: Flawless tonight 11pm-2am in the Lerner Party Space. Tickets are $3 at the TIC, and the first 30 of those are free. 33 has never […]

Columbia’s annual activity fair, where clubs set up tables and you inevitably end up signing up for a million clubs you won’t go to, will be held today on Low Steps from noon to 4pm. That means if you missed out on the smaller activities fair in Lerner last week, you can still join all 2,538 […]

The Activities Fair is now! Go outside and get some sun, free food (Dinosaur BBQ and more! Huge lines forming already), frisbees, and other things that will allure you to sign up for mailing lists. Be sure to stop by the Blue and White table as well, on Butler Walk near the Sundial.

Improv Everywhere, the guerilla performance group that masterminds incredible public displays of silliness all over New York City, has teamed up with the (now suddenly hip) CUArts. The Mp3 Experiment Columbia University is the latest iteration of a well-established IE mission, and will definitely be the best orientation activity ever planned in the history of […]
