The taste of free food, the sight of student artwork, the sounds of music from iPod speakers, the smell of Lerner, and a touch of class. CU Exposure is giving away free food on the second floor of Lerner now until 1 pm. Artwork by Columbia students is on display. Go appreciate your fellow students […]

Suspend some disbelief, escape from work and continue on the great American Road Trip with College Days today before scrounging back to the library. Head over to Nashville (Revson Plaza by EC) for a BBQ folk fest with a live performance by Sam Reider and the Lost Boys, tasty BBQ buffet and t-shirts between 2 and 4 […]

Le Bal Masquerade de College Days is tonight, and though Bwog’s inner francophile cringes at the butchered French of its title, it actually sounds like a pretty good time. Hosted by CCSC in Roone Arledge Auditorium from 9 pm to 1 am (Woo, partying past midnight—we really are in college!), this bal masqué marks the […]

Most people like to eat. Most people do not like to spend money, hence our free food tips. A great lover of free food has been revealed to us and now reports regularly on the quality, quantity, and pizazz of free food events around campus. Read on as The Scrounger goes green at the Ecopalooza. […]

Sometimes, the email (with a few friendly edits) pretty much says it all: Folksters young and old, fat and slim, tall and short, hobos and tramps, musically inclined and tone deaf alike!!!!!!! FOLK FEST IS TODAY from 4-9 pm!!! Come to Wien Courtyard to hear TEN freakin’ mind-blowing performances by some of our very most […]

The new issue of Columbia’s undergraduate literary magazine Quarto is debuting tonight, but faux-high-society snobbery is not all that’s offered. Contributing writers to this issue of the magazine will read their pieces aloud to a crowd of admirers. Meanwhile, munch on some homemade free cookies. There’s even matzah pizza for those limited to unleavened snacks. […]

Tonight, you can see a slave become more powerful than the emperor of Rome in an appropriately neoclassical context if you head to the Low Steps at 7:30 pm for a special showing of the classic movie Gladiator. It’s all part of CCSC’s bizarrely road trip-themed College Days, which is now apparently in Hollywood. In addition […]

Columbia’s celebrated Earth Day for a long time, and that proud tradition continues today. If you’re not spending the day getting closer to nature in Riverside Park (or just the lawns), why not check out some of the conferences and symposia the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences has planned for today? If you want […]

Heartbroken because of the change in date? Still hungry from yesterday? Didn’t care it was 4/20 then and wish we would stop making stupid references to it in Bwog posts, while simultaneously seeking free food and/or entertainment? If you answered yes to one or more of those questions, you’ll be happy to know that life […]

A little bit of sour news, Columbia. Threatening precipitation has forced the good people at Bacchanal to move their Dark Side of the Oz screening indoors. Instead of once on the Low Steps, the movie will be screened twice, at 8 pm and 9 pm in the Lerner Cinema. Run time is about 45 minutes. According […]

Bwog’s Wednesday feature, Where Art Thou?, is here to keep you posted on what’s going on in the A&E department in Morningside Heights and beyond (basically all the cool events your friends are in/on/at). If you would like your club’s event, GYPSIES presents Park Deconstruction, posted on Bwog, now you can make it happen! E-mail us […]

Educators4Excellence, a non-profit teacher’s organization, are camped out at Joe in NoCo right now. They’re handing out free coffee and muffins if you’ll stop and chat about education!

At noon in Schermerhorn 555, there will be a lecture about the bamboo bike project created by Columbia professor John Mutter…and snacks. At 6 PM, “popcorn, cookies, and other snacks” will be served at a screening […]
