Do you care about how your student life fees are spent? Do you care about how many meals you have to buy for a dining plan? Do you care about your housing situation? Do you want to tell someone about these things who can actually do something about it? Come to Lerner Satow Room at 8pm on Sunday January 23rd and complain your heart out! There’s a lot that can

[ALMA MATTERS ♔] 1.21.12 WELCOME TO SPRING 2012, COLUMBIA COLLEGE! I hope you have all had a restful, relaxing, and reinvigorating winter break. It’s finally the new year, and I, for one, am ready to rock like never before…(second-semester senior, #sorryimnotsorry). Let’s kick things off with our first event of the new semester, “What’s Wrong, Columbia?”. We want you to tell us literally everything that you think can be added, improved,

[ALMA MATTERS ♔] 12.18.11 Just hold on a minute… Since it’s finals, I could just say “GOGOGO!” and leave it at that… But actually—your paper’s not really going anywhere anyway. So here’s an email filled with study breaks, and I promise they’re awesome. Today at 1pm in Furnald and John Jay lounges, there will be a veritable barrage of cuteness as we host eight dogs from the Delta Society Pet

[ALMA MATTERS ♔] 12.10.11 From us to you… Given the space restrictions brought on by the ever-charming finals season, CCSC (in particular, the extraordinarily devoted and devilishly handsome CC Senator Kenny Durell) has worked with the Butler Library staff to bring you an unprecedented opportunity: MORE STUDY SPACE IN BUTLER! For the pilot, Butler will add six of the ten graduate reading rooms on the 5th and 6th floors of

For freshmen, next week marks the beginning of the first finals season and the end of our first semester here at Columbia. Before we hit the books during study days, it’s important that we all get together and celebrate what an incredible few months this has been. The 2015 Winter Coffeehouse will take place in John Jay Lounge on Sunday, December 11 from 7:45 – 8:45 pm. We will have

[ALMA MATTERS ♔] 12.3.11 You’re almost there… The end of the semester is nearing, and with it comes a brisk chill in the air, lights in the trees, and a plenitude of events and opportunities on campus. Oh, and finals. Regardless if you’re a senior who’s on the verge of being academically checked-out or a first-year asking why you decided to take a 3000-level class without the prereqs, it’s a

[ALMA MATTERS ♔] 11.26.11 It’s the most wonderful time of the year… For one of the truly most magical moments on campus, we are proud to invite you all to attend the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony this Thursday, December 1st! Every year, students come together to light the trees on College Walk, enjoy wonderful performances by their peers and hear words of wisdom and encouragement from their faculty and administrators.

The four undergraduate student councils invite you to attend the annual Tree Lighting and Yule Log Ceremonies this December 1. Each year, students come together to light the trees on College Walk, enjoy wonderful performances by their peers and hear words of wisdom and encouragement from their faculty and administrators. This year, for the first time, the four undergraduate student councils will be collaborating together to plan this event. Our hope

[ALMA MATTERS ♔] 11.19.11 Happy Thanksgiving! It’s not uncommon that when the weather drops to -10˚ and the sunlight disappears that it feels like manners and gratitude fall away too. Often we get caught up in our own problems and our own lives, and we don’t reach out to others to say thank you for all that they do for us. In light of that, we would like to propose
