You roll up your mom jeans to show off your Birkenstocks. Your men’s Bernie t-shirt is perfectly tucked in, and your undercut is perfectly arranged. As the 1 train pulls away from the station, you head up the stairs and use the exit on the west side of the station. You’re not going to Days […]

Barnard students just received an email announcing tuition and fees for next year, as well as changes to the dining plan. Though Barnard students lost JJ’s Place access last year, they will once again be able to swipe into the dining hall in the fall. The email announced other changes as well, such as dinner being […]

Dean Hinkson and Chief Operating Officer Robert Goldberg announced today that, in line with Columbia’s efforts, Barnard College will raise the minimum wage for students working for Barnard. The change, to be indexed over three years, will raise the minimum wage for student workers to $15 per hour by September 2018. Starting next September, the […]

Today is a momentous day! Ok, not really, but it is the last day for SEAS and Barnard students to make certain changes to their schedules. Today, March 24, is the last day SEAS students can elect to Pass/D/Fail a class and is also the SEAS R-credit deadline and class withdrawal deadline. Get on those computers and […]

Next fall may seem lightyears away, but Barnard Residential Life is here to shorten that distance for you. Today begins the week-long gap to register for Barnard on-campus housing for the next calendar year. Barnard students will have until Monday, March 28 to secure their guaranteed housing this g-around. Students can register on the Res […]

This morning, Dean Hinkson and President Spar sent an email to Barnard students informing them that Jessi Dietrich, BC ’16, had taken her own life. Jessi was a senior psychology major from Florida and vice president of the Pre-Vet Society. Dean Hinkson and President Spar reminded students that there is “no right or wrong way […]

Bwog has noticed that Columbia students tend to not be familiar with Barnard’s campus. In hopes of deducing just what these confused onlookers know about Barnard’s layout, we’ve asked some lucky CC/SEAS students to fill out blank maps of Barnard’s campus. Their—often completely wrong—assessments are included below. I was stopped by a confused woman the […]

Barnard President Debora Spar responds to recent student and faculty concerns regarding this year’s commencement speaker in a letter to-the-editor published on the Spectator website late this afternoon. Spar says that hearing from students and faculty about the lack of diversity in commencement speakers has pushed her office to begin working with the medalists who […]

This Tuesday is the last day to declare your English major, or whatever else you might be majoring in, Barnard sophomores! But don’t worry too much, ’cause that’s more of a soft deadline. Dean Kuan Tsu explains this in an email sent yesterday: Since there is no late fee attached to this deadline, it is […]

SGA sent out an email to Barnard students this morning concerning a referendum on Barnard’s fossil fuel divestment. Following several protests on campus and the Board of Trustees announcing they will consider divestment, SGA created the referendum to gage student interest on the topic, particularly if students support divestment. All Barnard students may vote via […]

Late Wednesday night, Barnard quad residents became aware of a shocking phenomenon: there was bread on the bulletin boards. Not pictures of bread, not drawings of bread, not even holograms of bread, but real, actual slices of white bread attached with thumbtacks to the bulletin boards. The bread was first believed to be present on […]

President Spar sent an email to the Barnard community this morning to update students on the administration’s response to an ongoing student challenge of Barnard’s reduced winter break housing policy. Students have put together a petition and the policy has been a recurring topic of SGA meetings this semester. President Spar acknowledged the petition and other […]

Barnard College’s plethora of unique traditions (who else stuffed themselves to the gills at Big Sub, be honest) are always something to look forward to. Even though the college is undergoing some huge changes right now (RIP BarnLib) and some less-huge changes (the Magnolia is only moving a 10-second walk away, you can relax), its […]

There were several students at the SGA meeting last night looking to have their voices heard, far more than I have ever seen at SGA before (usually it’s just Spec and me….). The floor opened with several students voicing their concerns about Barnard students’ new ineligibility for the pre-NSOP CUE initiative. The students wondered how all four […]
