When Jim Gossett announced that he would be retiring from his positions as associate athletics director for sports medicine and head athletics trainer, he began to receive an outpouring of congratulations and thanks.

During the height of racial injustice protests across the country last September, a group of Columbia student-athletes decided to form the Columbia Black Student-Athlete Alliance. The BSAA aims to provide a space for members to come together, reach out to the community, and educate their peers about the challenges they face as Black student-athletes.

Columbia’s current fight song, including its lesser-known first stanza, goes:

The past decade in Columbia lacrosse has seen seven last-place finishes and zero winning seasons, but the Light Blue has still managed to exceed expectations. For the first time in program history, the Lions did not finish the season in last place or tied for last place in the Ivy League—and then proceeded to rank above the bottom of the table two more times.

Columbia lacrosse entered Saturday’s Ivy opener against Princeton on a three-game losing streak and left with the worst loss of its young season to the three-peat Ivy League champion.

While the highlight from this weekend’s men’s basketball games may have been the renaming of the Levien Gymnasium’s basketball court in honor of Jonathan Schiller, CC ’69, Law ’73, it is becoming readily apparent that the Lions may be the ones in need of a makeover, as the team dropped both its games for the fourth week in a row.
