It’s almost the halfway point in the semester, which means we’re moving into Stage 2 of Midterm Stress: Anticipatory Stress (Stage 1 was Anticipation of Anticipatory Stress; Stage 3 will simply be Oh-Shit-I-Guess-This-Is-Happening). During this time of turmoil it’s nice to know that SGA continues to run its meetings like a well-oiled machine. Barnard Bearoness […]

This evening Barnard hosted its last of a series of town halls and forums to discuss the direction Barnard Admissions should take in terms of transwomen applying to the school. As per protocol of the last town hall, direct quotes and discussion cannot be reported openly just yet, but students who attended the forums are welcome to […]

Here with her weekly report, Barnard Bearoness Maddie Stearn tells us about what went down at last night’s SGA meeting. A large portion of the meeting was devoted to Barnard’s position in the impending Title IX investigation, while the last bit of the agenda was reserved for going over dates of exciting events that are happening around campus soon. […]

Recently we learned about one Barnard student whose medical complications have taken her out of school and uprooted her life. Editor Taylor Grasdalen spoke with her to learn more. Molly Mittler entered Barnard College as a first-year in August of 2014. Just one day before orientation, Molly had a concussion and chose to follow up by scheduling to […]

This afternoon, Barnard College hosted its first community open forum to discuss the potential implementation of a transgender admission policy.

This afternoon President Spar will host Barnard College’s first community forum on the potential implementation of a transgender admission policy.

The first forum will be held this afternoon at 4:15 pm in the […]

President Spar sent an email to Barnard students this afternoon explaining the Board of Trustees approach to adding a transgender policy to Barnard’s admissions for the future. A handful of all-women’s colleges have already implemented transgender policies in their own admissions. On campus, Barnard students have called for a change to address the non-existent admissions policy for […]

Frat boys and those who are likeminded: no more need to cross the street to the nearest women’s college with a ladder (a la Animal House), for the lovely students of Barnard have recognized the strain of your sneaky searches and now bring you to X-marks-the-spot with far more ease. Only strong, bold, beautiful Barnard […]

In honor of Barnard’s 125th anniversary, the Empire State Building’s glowing color of choice this evening will be Barnard Blue. We anticipate students will be flocking to find a good view on a high floor of glassy NoCo, squinting really hard on the Amsterdam bridge to East Campus, or calling up their friend-of-a-friend that has an upscale […]

Bwog has been tipped several rumors that Barnard’s administration and dining services prohibit BC students from eating at JJ’s Place. Apparently, the BC ’17 and ’18 Facebook pages are in uproar about this policy, which has been in effect since 2011, and some students are saying that they currently can’t get into JJ’s after 8 […]

This past Monday evening, dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp BC ’63 was at Barnard where she talked dance, her college years, and her book. Anastasiya Vasilyeva was there to report on the talk and how it was received by the students. Twyla Tharp–an acclaimed dancer, choreographer, and now writer–returned to her old turf of Barnard College to […]

Ten minutes ago, a tipster sent Bwog this alarming email: My Barnard deleted almost all classes from students’ schedules. They have to re-enroll. This is the WORST. According to everyone attending Barnard who’s complaining on Facebook right now, it’s true — they had a “computer malfunction.” Students of less popular classes should have no problem […]
