As you rolled out of bed this Friday, we know there was only one thing on your mind: the Doritos spilled all over your room the mysterious hat you found in your bed if seabirds can digest seawater and if they can’t then how do they find fresh water the CCSC budget. Us too. Namely, […]

We’re back at school, and CCSC’s back at business. Our Satow Room Bureau Chief Joseph Milholland took notes. The first Columbia College Student Council meeting of the Spring 2014 semester took place under the influence of two articles from student publications: the request from the Editorial Board of the Columbia Daily Spectator that the CCSC’s […]

Vote or die, according to the Columbia Elections Board. They are hosting a candidate mixer with free pizza this Thursday for students interested in running for CCSC and ESC in the spring. Maybe this year won’t be quite as uncontested as the last, though we’re not especially hopeful. According to their Facebook event: Spring elections aren’t until late March, but we encourage […]

The incredible Joseph Milholland skipped out on a night of celebrating before the last day of classes and Bwog cupcakes to go to the last CCSC meeting of the semester and boy was it full of song, dance, nostalgia, and presents. Hey, Joseph goes to every meeting, he should totally have a CCSC Secret Santa. […]

Thanksgiving break might be over, and finals almost upon us, but CCSC has not given up hope. Not yet. Joseph Milholland brings us the update from the December 1st meeting. It’s December now. Wow. Our inevitable return to classes after our Thanksgiving reprieve was marked at the December 1 CCSC meeting with two alumni representatives […]

There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s CCSC to allocate funds ‘n stuff (and Joseph Milholland to tell us all about it). The November 24 2013 CCSC meeting began with the announcement that two Columbia students were out picking up the meeting’s much-hyped Dino BBQ themselves instead of having it delivered […]

Looking for a reason to feel good about CCSC? (Not necessarily, but…) Today there’s a great one: the council has set up a “Student Project Grants Initiative.” Looking at the website, the initiative seems to cover a fairly wide variety of student projects, with the (very broad) stated purpose of “funding individual projects [students] would otherwise be […]

Can’t get enough of our student government? Neither can Joseph Milholland, who updates us this week with news of rotary and credit unions and also of fixing Lerner. Another busy night at the Satow Room featured two visitors. The first was the president of Columbia Rotaract. She came to talk about an event on Tuesday […]

CCSC dragged itself back into Lerner for the first post-break meeting and Joseph Milholland joined to witness an awful lot of talking about things. After a week off due to Fall break, the student council returned all together Sunday night with a heavy schedule lined up for the meeting. The first major item they addressed […]

In all seriousness, having to make your same-day appointment at 12:01 with fingers crossed that there are even any appointments left sucks. Lucky for you, CCSC is around to make some sweeping changes. Check out this confident press release: In response to feedback from CCSC and the Student Health Advisory Committee, Medical Services at Columbia […]

Bwog gives you not one, but TWO lovely press releases detailing some exciting victories for the student councils this Monday. Watson Library For starters, the multi-council Watson Library resolution passed about two weeks ago has proven effective—making rounds in national media couldn’t have hurt either. The resolution, a joint collaboration between GSSC, CCSC, and ESC, […]

Joseph Milholland fearlessly ventures into the hallowed Hall of Lerner to bear witness to another CCSC meeting. Confidence was in the air of this CCSC meeting after the success of several events, like Oktoberfest, and the anticipation for the many upcoming events. In fact, it seems like next week will be a particularly good one […]

As ever, CCSC convened in the Satow Room last night for the betterment of our fine university. Bombastic Bureau Chief Joseph Milholland was on hand to report. After the hectic excitement of the first few weeks – a new school year, the Senate election, BC divest – this week’s CCSC meeting found a groove for […]

Keenan Albee updates on the ongoing battle between those at the business school and those who want to go to business school.  And so the battle over the Business School Library rages onward. CCSC and ESC have put forth a joint resolution affirming their support for a pilot program aimed at increasing student access to […]

Joseph C. Milholland fights through midterm malaise to check in with our tireless CCSC.  This week’s CCSC meeting was a meeting of three resolutions in what was described as a “serious meeting.” Barnard Columbia Divest started the meeting by bringing to the council their petition, the “first direct initiative” in the history of Columbia University […]
