Let’s get worldly!  Full details here and here.   […]

Bwog hears rumor of free Dinosaur Barbecue outside of EC at noon today. No word yet on why, or who we have to thank for this fatty, saucy benevolence, but go! Leave your Butler carrels and grab some before it becomes, er… extinct. Update: Ever intrepid, Bwog braved gusty autumn winds in pajamas and flip-flops […]

Tonight  at 6pm the Office of Multicultural Affairs hosts its fall Open House event, scheduled to include food, music, and giveaways.

[…]

Barnard SGA is holding their own activities fair today starting at 11:00 AM on the Lehman Lawn in the James Room (4th floor of Barnard Hall).

Around 9pm the Lerner piano lounge will play host to a lot of ice cream, Pepsi, root beer and of course, and lots of eager, ice-cream-scooping student government kids.
