Even if the Executive Board was chosen by internal machinations, SEAS students can still have some choice in the rest of their representatives by voting in ESC elections. The (electronic) polls are open until Wednesday at 6 p.m, and the various candidates’ speeches are on YouTube.

Lots of free food for simply nice, warm and fuzzy reasons today from 12-2pm. Your choices are Re-Charge, an event on Low Steps that encourages you to regroup and partake of free snacks courtesy of the University Chaplain, or SEAS Coffee House in Mudd Lobby, where you will find some nice sugary breakfast items and […]

The weekly ESC meeting never fails to provide all sorts of drama. Bwog’s Drama Junkie Sean Zimmermann was on hand last night to lap it up. Good Samaritan policies, smoking rules, wifi in class rooms, and dining services changes were among the major topics discussed at this evening’s ESC meeting, the last of which triggering […]

Straight from Whitney Green, SEAS ’10 and ESC Secretary, your ESC candidates. Congratulations! 2010 Class President Heather Lee – Expresh Class VP Joffre Andrade – Expresh Class Rep Austin Brauser – Equilibrium Party Stanley Chen – Equilibrium Party Liza John Varun Gulati More results after the jump.

You know the results, but what about the grit and passion of the battle? Bwog Election Sentinel Sean Zimmermann was on the scene last night (and this morning) as ESC chose its new council. Last night, ESC gathered to elect the council’s new executive board. Whitney Green, the current council Secretary, ran against Gunnar Aasen […]

White smoke has risen from Satow tonight, as Whitney Green has been elected the new ESC President. Green, who succeeds Peter Valeiras, is the current secretary, and has also been GSSC liaison and a class council member. In her speech, Green spoke about she had worked with student groups to get their ideas implemented. Concerned […]

As reported last night, the major story out of Monday night’s ESC meeting was the potential replacement of 40s on 40 with a BBQ (albiet one with alcohol). But alcohol was not the only topic of the meeting, the last before ESC begins its annual constitutional review. The 2009 class council announced that the last SEAS fireside chat was canceled […]

“How many engineers does it take to change a light bulb?” Perhaps a better question is how many engineers does it take to find a dimmer. This week’s ESC meeting started off on a humorous note as Chris Elizondo attempted to readjust one of the lights in Satow with a crutch, and failed miserably.  The […]

Credit where it’s due: ever since Bwog noted the strange existence of next winter’s Study Day, the student councils have been working to make the best of a bad calendaring situation (the academic calendar that spawned study day was set into place back in the 90s). And now according to CC 2010 VP Sue Yang, […]

While you’re trundling through another night of studying for this year’s exams (or have joined the lucky few who are done), let’s look ahead to the New Year. More specfically, CC ’10 VP (and potential presidential candidate) Sue Yang got in touch with Bwog about how next year’s “Study Day” conundrum is being handled.  Two options remain on the […]

 Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Sean Zimmermann reports from last night’s ESC meeting. At last night ESC meeting, many changes were afoot within the ESC you know and love. Even though CourseWorks is maybe probably on the outs, the Council’s Director of Technology Kenny Rivera is developing a CourseWorks application for the iPhone—to better check that […]

Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Sean Zimmermann attended tonight’s ESC meeting. Exciting changes to your Internet are afoot! The ESC meeting this week was dominated by two website presentations. CUIT previewed the “Next Gen CourseWorks” named Sakai, while two sophomores previewed their new website ColumbiaClasses.com, which aims to be a replacement for CULPA and Columbia’s own […]

Hooray, the 2012 Class Council election results for ESC and SGA are here. Meet your new teams: ESC: President: Derrick Fu (SuperFu) Vice-President: Jessica Wu (SuperFu) Representative: Eric Harms (SuperFu) Representative: Judy Kim (FuReal) SGA: President: Charlie Dinkin Vice President: Bo Yun Park Treasurer: Astrika Wilhelm You might recall that “Stephan” did endorse SuperFu.  And […]

Bwog’s Fu Foundation Bureau Chief Sean Zimmermann actually sat through the Night of 1,000 Speeches, or ESC’s 2012 candidate forum. His report, and some admittedly sub-par cameraphone pictures, follow.   Gimmicks and costumes dominated the Engineering Student Council forum today, as each of the first year candidates concluded their campaigns with formal speeches. This year’s […]

The activities fair may be over, but you’ve still got a while to find your niche in Columbia’s extracurricular scene. To help you sift through the alphabet soup, our series of club crib sheets continues with groups that hand out money and groups that may eventually make lots of money. Governing Boards and Councils (a.k.a. […]
