The Blue Jay is back to welcome the Columbia and Barnard class of 2024! In our first episode of the semester we discuss racial tensions in small-town America, anonymous online forums for undergrads, and feature a poem composed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Blue Jay is brought to you by The Blue and White Magazine, a monthly undergraduate publication from Columbia University. Visit our website, theblueandwhite.org, to read current and archived student works stretching back to our founding in 1890.
