Thanks for reading!

Well, here we are.  May has come at last!  And as the Spring semester ends, so does our Barnard Blog.  Our students are busy finishing term papers, taking final exams, and getting ready for their next adventure–be it a summer internship here in the city, a study abroad program, or some time at home with friends and family.  Graduating [...]

The Varsity Show

The Varsity Show this year was AMAZING!!!!!!!!
For those unacquainted with the concept, The V Show is one of Columbia’s more amusing campus traditions, an original student musical performed every Spring. This year marked the 114th year of the V Show, and if I may say so, the best one ever (including the time a young [...]

Student Leadership Dinner!

This Thursday was the annual Student Leadership Dinner hosted by the Student Government Association and the College Activities Office. Complete with fancy dinner, the college song, and the awarding of mysterious “Bear Pins,” the evening was amazingly Barnard (and yes, Barnard is an adjective. Judith Shapiro used it to describe the “Athena is my Homegirl” [...]

Always Exciting News

One of my favorite things to do when I’ve missed Barnard over the past four months is visit the Barnard News Center. It’s a great way to stay in tune to what’s going on at the College, and also a lovely way to share the excitement of fellow Barnard students, Barnard faculty members and [...]

EcoTour of NYC: a photo essay

Today I went on an EcoTour organized by one of my fellow Barnard EcoReps, Acadia, and some other environmental gurus at Columbia’s school of Public Policy. One great thing about Barnard is the connections and crossovers between all of the institutions in the Morningside Heights neighborhood. We really benefit from one another, and environmental activism [...]

phew! what a week!

Wow, is it only Wednesday? I’m out of sorts, maybe because I was home in Pennsylvania for a family wedding in Philadelphia over the weekend, but it has been quite the week since returning on Sunday afternoon. I went to the Guggenheim that day with two of my best friends to see the current exhibit [...]
