The dean of CBS wrote an op-ed about taxes. (NYT) Read this disheartening story about buying papers and paper-factory-people in today’s ivory towers. (The Chronicle) NYC’s health commissioner dislikes Camel’s new cigarettes, the ones marketed directly towards hipsters. (NY Daily News) Now NYPD can scan your iris to make sure you’re really you.  O brave new […]

One of the greatest perks of an Ivy League education–right in NYC, no less–is having all sorts of guest lecturers and talks hosted right on campus. Yet many of these great talks are not publicized enough. Enter Bucket List, a weekly feature that aggregates these events in a single location that will hopefully make you […]

Behold…the PrezBo stencil! Print out the stencil, tape it to a (real) pumpkin, and trace the face onto the pumpkin surface by perforating the black shapes’ edges with a carving knife. Then, remove the paper and carve out the traced areas.

Spotted! PrezBo and the Deans huddled together at Homecoming. The band‘s recently released EP, “New Fundraising [Protocol]” received tepid reviews and the band hasn’t been seen together in public since their disastrous “War (What Is It Good For?) tour last summer. Roar, Lion, Roar! Update: We lost.

Today in Emails You Probably Didn’t Read: Columbia’s Board of Trustees Chair William V. Campbell (like, of course that’s his name) has announced that PrezBo will continue as President for “at least the next five years.” PrezBo has been PrezBo since 2002. Campbell and PrezBo said nice things. Campbell on Bo: Across this large and diverse […]

Holy shit, Kofi and Lee just walked up Low Steps like it was no big deal. Bwog is kvelling!

The Committee on Global Thought, a Columbia organization, hosted a conference called “Sovereign Wealth Funds and Other Long-Term Investors: A New Form of Capitalism?” yesterday and today. If you didn’t hear about it, you just must not be cool or something. Today the University hosted talks from former Vice President Al Gore and billionaire George […]

This morning, lots of BSchool students and administration wearing exclusively charcoal gray and black suits gathered on 126th and Adam Clayton Powell to thank Henry Kravis for donating a whopping $100 million to the BSchool’s new Manhattanville campus. The gift is the largest in the BSchool’s history. BSchool-folk ate danishes and, today in silly cookies, […]

Bwog’s very own Zoe Camp stopped by the presidential mansion Tuesday night to have a chat with PrezBo. PrezBo’s fireside chat offered freshpeople a rather magical escape from the perils of dorm life. Lo, the mountains of hors d’oeuvres, the perfectly-arranged rows of chairs, the meticulously clean, downright palatial bathrooms – ladies and gentlemen, we’re not in […]

PrezBo was unwilling to display the recent gains posted by the endowment at the Fun Run on Friday.

The 9th Annual Fun Run took place this morning at 8:30am—an hour so early that Bwog was only just getting home when the race began. We hear that the race went swimmingly, but Bwog’s still bitter about getting waitlisted. Here’s a sample playlist from before the race began: Run (Vampire Weekend) Born to Run (Bruce […]

In July, we wrote about Kenneth Cole’s new and somewhat surprising friendship with Columbia. The details were slightly murky, but we knew that it was something to do with community service and a summer internship. Today, Deans Moody-Adams and Peña-Mora sent around an email officially announcing the Kenneth Cole Community Engagement Program. Prospective Kenneth Cole […]

Orientation Day One is hardly over yet—there’s still Class Act to see, Gates to run through, and high fives not to give. Here are some scenes from the first eight hours of this long trek of a day. 2014, you kids look good out there. Welcome! Pictures and video of Day One to come. Send […]

It’s a good morning for our pal Mr. Bo: he’s just been appointed the Chairman of the New York Fed Board of Directors, movin’ on up from the title he currently holds, Deputy Chair. We know you’ll be awful busy, but we hope you still have time to chuckle at us when we sneak kegs […]

Here is some news: the Emporio Armani Fall/Winter 2011/2012 ad campaign is public! Here is why that news is sort of relevant: those ads were all shot on our fair campus mere months ago! Take a look: there’s the model shrouded in smoke wearing all black next to a building that looks like Uris, the […]
