Monday’s SGA meeting was all about the upcoming curricular review: what it is and why it’s actually a really cool opportunity to put in your own two cents.

Monday’s SGA meeting lasted a record 20-ish minutes. Bwogger Lauren Beltrone was dutifully present for all 20-ish minutes and has very little to report back to you. In case you’ve never been to an SGA meeting, you should know that they’re made up of two parts: one internal and one external. Everyone is allowed to […]

Like most governing bodies, SGA gets a ton of money at the beginning of the year and is given the task to budget it out for the year. Unlike some governing bodies, SGA tells you exactly how much money goes where. Expert Mint.com user/retired financial advisor Lauren Beltrone tells you what you want to know. […]

As the school year starts to wind-down (but more like wind-up, amirite???), we all need to take a little time to think about our health.

Wait, Barnard offers “financial aid”? What’s that? Lauren “Demonstrated Need My Ass” Beltrone went to Monday’s SGA meeting, which was all about da money. Here’s what you maybe don’t already know.

This morning, SGA released a position on last month’s drama involving SJP and the Barnard administration.

The administration said that […]
