Welcome back, GSSC! The General Studies Student Council is very much getting back into the swing of things, and this week involved a lot of position appointments. GSSC Bureau Chiefs Jennifer Nugent and Romane Thomas bring you through the whole new cast of characters. This week was eventful in the General Studies Student Council, as 14 […]

Never fear: GSSC is near, starting its year with not just initiative, but energy. Jennifer Nugent and Romane Thomas observe and report back from the ice dungeon. Yesterday night, the General Studies Student Council met in the freezing heights of Lerner (the air conditioning gave us colds) for its longest meeting yet and started off the […]

Following the passing of GS student Uri Florez, extensive support opportunities have been extended to students grieving the loss of their fellow classmate. GSSC President Julian LaRosa announced in an email that student leaders and Columbia MilVets are providing extended office hours as an addition to the typical support resources. The group will be hosting the open meetings at […]

It’s the last meeting of the year! Bwogger Jennifer Nugent refrains from shouting “School’s out!” and reports back on budgets, events, and constitutional changes to member positions. What starts with a president’s puppy, ends with heartfelt speeches, and is punctuated by rounds of applause? The final full meeting of the General Studies Student Council! Every […]

Perhaps disoriented by the room change, the GSSC meeting was surprisingly short. And you don’t have to miss a single second: wily correspondent Jennifer Nugent was on the scene and taking notes. Last night’s General Studies Student Council (GSSC) meeting was off to a raucous start with a room change to Pupin. Latecomers even fell […]

Last night, the Columbia Elections Board ruled to disqualify General Studies Student Council University Senator candidate Jeffrey, GS ’18 from the race, effective immediately. This decision was a result of remarks made by Jeffrey at a debate yesterday afternoon. In Jeffrey’s introductory statement, he mentioned another candidate, Ramond Curtis: “I’m someone that’s really committed to making […]

Observant to a fault, witchy Romane Thomas listened in on last night’s meeting of the General Studies Student Council (GSSC), where topics of discussion ranged from self-congratulation to teaching awards. “You killed it, you killed it, you killed it!” President Elizabeth Heyman congratulated the Campus Life pole and its Social Chair on their organization of […]

CCSC, ESC, and University Senator results are out. We’ll skip the fluff – here’s your new student council! Some big positions are listed here, and every position’s full election results are at the bottom of the post. CCSC Executive Board: President: Nicole Allicock (1U Party) VP of Policy: Abby Porter (1U Party) VP of Finance: Anuj Sharma (1U Party) VP of Communications: Josh […]

GSSC isn’t afraid to have a little fun…but that doesn’t always result in a balanced budget. Winsome Wednesday contributor Romane Thomas reports back on the goings-on at GSSC, from poorly Photoshopped images and website redesigns to frisbee games and Gala drama. Last night, General Studies Student Council (GSSC) started off celebrating April Fools by putting […]

GSSC was understandably consumed by basketball mania last night (s/o to a sports team that doesn’t suck!), but they managed to cram a lot of important information into the thirty minutes that they convened. Seasoned operative Romane Thomas reports back with everything you need to know about the election, upcoming gala, and fun events. Yesterday […]

Earlier tonight, Bwog was tipped about various members of CCSC, ESC, and GSSC voicing concerns about the Columbia Political Union’s newfound influence over the upcoming student council election process. The Columbia Elections Board (CEB), which was founded in 2013 “to conduct and publicize student council elections on campus,” is currently made up of four students, according to the CCSC […]

If your housing situation and the Bacchanal war on fun didn’t make life feel enough like an ABC soap opera, don’t worry. Election season is arriving like spring, and soon you will be able to consume the drama from ESC, CCSC, and, now that its deadline for candidacy has passed, GSSC. Find the complete list of candidates […]

A spontaneous change of venue for the General Studies Student Council set staff writer Romane Thomas on a wild goose chase across campus, but she made it on time to give you all the details. Don’t miss all the website layout discussion ;) Last night, sporting a post spring break tan, the GSSC talked Gala, […]

GSSC got heated up, but in a mild enough way. Romane Thomas was on hand to witness the combustive, creative energy of the Council, and reports back on newsletters, Spring Break, and snack attacks. Yesterday night neither midterms nor the flu kept a reduced General Studies Student Council (GSSC) from talking awards, menus, and Owl analytics […]

Upheaval, new faces, rap music, and fractions were what best characterized last night’s GSSC’s meeting, at least according to our resident Roone reporter, Romane Thomas. With a notable lack of alliteration, she breezily gives us all the deets. Yesterday night’s General Studies Student Council (GSSC) meeting turned theatrical when the student council moved from its normal meeting […]
