problem in all communities. We march because family and friends share
the pain. We march because no one should have to be afraid. Tonight is a
night of survival in the most active sense of the word. We shout to
combat the silence that is forced upon us. Tonight is a night of unity.
We march because we recognize only together can we break the cycle of
violence. With rage we march and with strength we speak.

President,
Samantha Brody: sb2518@barnard.edu
The Transfer Alliance creates a welcoming environment for all transfer
students. We hope to create a community that is supportive to all
Barnard students who have transferred to the college by establishing a
network of transfers that are available to support each other and any
other transfer student. We work to ease the transition into the Barnard
and larger Columbia University community.

V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls.
V-Day promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and
revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day
generates broader attention for the fight to stop worldwide violence
against women and girls including rape, battery, incest, female genital
mutilation (FGM), and sexual slavery. V-Day provides funding to create
and nurture innovative programs to stop the violence. Through V-Day
campaigns, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit
performances of 'The Vagina Monologues' on Valentine's Day to raise
awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own
communities. V-Day at Barnard College includes all members of the
Columbia University community and last year raised $6,000 to donate to
St. Luke's Roosevelt Crime Victims Treatment Center, NYC Gay and Lesbian
Anti-Violence Project, and Barnard-Columbia Rape Crisis/Anti-Violence
Support Center.
WBAR

wbar@columbia.edu
WBAR is an independent, freeform, non-commercial, non-profit radio
station broadcasting from the Barnard College campus in New York City.
Our radio programming is generated entirely by the students who
constitute the station's DJ and substitute DJ staff. In conjunction with
the radio broadcast that our DJs put together, the Executive Staff and
interns oversee the basic functioning of the station. Sure, WBAR
provides the Barnard College/Columbia University/global community (this
side of the digital divide) with tremendous, primarily independent
radio, but the station also organizes some of the hottest concerts in
New York City throughout the year. WBAR has a long and splendid past.
Despite repeated confrontation with adversity, the station persists in
its mission to promote authenticity in the world of music. Make sure to
give us a listen at wbar.org, or 87.9FM in the Barnard dorms.
