Meet Your New Chris Colombo

It's on to MIT for outgoing Dean of Student Affairs Chris Colombo, where he will serve as the Dean for Student Life.

How excited is Colombo about the new position? He'll tell you how excited: "It is with very mixed emotions that I share with you that I have accepted the position of Dean for Student Life at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "

While sad Colombo is in Massachusetts, Associate Dean of Student Affairs Kevin Shollenberger will take over as Interim Dean of Student Affairs.

Snack Attack
Oh how quickly Columbia's wheels of justice turn. A little less than 48 hours ago, I posted on the Bwog a pictures of a bizarre little homemade cracker packet I found.

Then came the increasingly frantic emails from the Class Deans and Public Security to the Blue & White's editor-in-chief, Avi. By last night, the emails got back to me. We were told by the Administration that "the photographer [that's me!] will be in contact with Public Safety by first thing tomorrow morning." Will do.

Or will try to do. I called Ken Finnegan, Public Safety's Director of Investigations and Technology, like he asked. Answering machine. Then I stopped by. Not in. Then I called again. Made some bread pudding. Called again.

Then I got an email from Dean Colombo claiming I have alleged a bias incident. Patted myself on back for fighting the good fight. Checked on bread pudding.

Anyway, Ken, if you're reading this, CALL ME.

Update: Eyewitness account filed with the proper authorities. Best of luck, Ken, with the investigation. I know you'll leave no crumb unturned.

Dean Colombo Knows Your Name!
Or, to be more accurate, Dean Colombo knows that you have a first name. It's a start, Chris, but something to keep working on, along with just how many spaces the word "graduation" has (hint: zero).
