Bwog had the distinct pleasure of interviewing the visionaries behind one of Columbia’s newest (and largest) organizations: the Fun Club. Founded at the start of this semester, the Fun Club is dedicated to simple, free, non-résumé-stuffin’ fun. The brainchild of two seniors, Neil Shahrestani GS’11 and Lior Hemi GS’11, and a sophomore, Nicole Rumore CC’13, […]

As you may have heard, Barnard officially announced required meal plans for all students starting next semester year.  Initial support for the measure seemed low, so we went on a hunt to find students who were excited about it.
