Image via insidesocal.com E-Week 2009 kicks off tonight at 8:00 PM in Roone.  This is the yearly event that the SEAS student life committee puts on for the sake of “good food and lots of engineering pride!” (ORIGINAL CAPS REMOVED).   Of course, that’s not why Bwog cares.  According to Peter Valeiras’ multi-colored electronic mail […]

Tonight marked the memorial for Eric Harms — officially, it began at 8:07 pm (his birthday was August 7th.) As students had begun to congregate, a slideshow created by his classmates played on a screen, and jazz, his favorite type of music, played in the background.  Two of Harms’s fellow class council members approached the […]

ESC President Peter Valeiras tells Bwog that there are two meetings tonight for students: first, at 8 p.m., Associate Dean of Student Affairs Eleanor Daugherty will be leading a meeting in Low Library Visitors Center about planning “ways to commemorate Eric.” Then, at 9:45 p.m. in the Satow Room, there will be a meeting for […]

This morning, ESC President Peter Valerias issued a statement to the SEAS community in response to the death of SEAS freshman Eric Harms on Saturday. Valerias wrote that Harms was “involved in so many aspects of campus life and always willing to help others out when they had a task to complete.  He was a […]

For those interested, the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship will be hosting a prayer service for Eric Harms’ family and friends at 4:30 p.m. today in the Hartley lounge.

Tragic news tonight: according to an email from Dean of Student Affairs Kevin Shollenberger, “a first year SEAS student passed away earlier today in Hartley Hall.” “Efforts are underway to contact the family, as well as offer support and condolences.  I am sure you understand that we are not releasing the name of the student […]

Taking a cue from PrezBo, SEAS hosted its own “fireside” chat Monday night to address students’ concerns on a broad range of topics.  The digs were markedly less than splendiforous than 60 Morningside Drive – the Carleton Lounge on the first floor of Mudd is less than inviting, as its occupants often feel like they’re […]

There’s a “Welcome Back SEAS”-themed ice cream social/study break happening now in Lerner’s ramp lounge. There are various flavors of ice cream, plus the sprinkles and chocolate sauce you were hoping for. And then outside this thing there is a table with Starbucks coffee, in addition to milk and sugar. It’s not free — the […]

SEAS girls, this is your life Gardening: not just for housewives! So this one time, at Space Camp… “Through uncertainty and turmoil, we can at least dress confidently and demonstrate our power through a self-assured silhouette.” Good women drink bad coffee 

There’s been much commotion surrounding the possibility of a “Stephan” endorsement in the CCSC 2012 Class Council elections — three whole comments’ worth and a Facebook group update, to be exact! Would “Stephan” keep things nonpartisan? Would he suspend the pregaming… lol to go to Washington, and fix the economy? Bwog spoke with “Stephan” who […]

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 […]

Bwog doesn’t know whether this New York Times story about engineers earning credit for service projects in Harlem was originally supposed to run yesterday, but, regardless, we doff our collective (and imaginary) caps to the Grey Lady for its sense of timing. In short, the engineering school allows students to earn class credit while doing […]

Tipster Sumeet Shah sends word that PrezBo had a rollicking good time at SEAS’s class day yesterday. Shah sends a photo of PrezBo laughing—real human laughs—at speaker Armen Avanessians’ speech. Says one SEASer of the speech: “Hilarious but uninspiring. The whole speech was nerd jokes… he got a laugh with the phrase ‘1.5-micron CMOS’, as […]

Bwog has been readying a list of procrastination tips, but an ambitious group of SEAS students has outdone every activity we Bwoggers suggested. James Williams reports that just outside of Butler stands–yes–a frisbee-throwing machine. And daily editor Justin Vlasits overheard a poetic passerby mutter “and my heart is like a frisbee flying onto the lawn.” […]

For SEAS Class Day speaker engineering is the new liberal arts. FaCU, SGB funding meetings should be open to all. The New Harlem, its a happening place. The mayor of Brigadoon bids farewell. Gandhi scholar to hang it up after 40 years of teaching the same course. Jeffrey Sachs goes back to the future.   […]
