When I first hired Jenna, she wrote a column that focused largely on the ins and outs of majoring in hotel administration (A sample column title? "Food Lab Confidential.") However, last summer, Jenna approached me about shifting her column significantly to focus on sex, romance, and the overall "hook up" culture on campus. While I recognized that it would be difficult for most writers to make the switch from tackling topics such as cooking and culinary theory to vaginas and vibrators, I knew that if anyone was up to the challenge, it had to be Jenna.

Upon arriving on campus this fall, Jenna poured her heart into developing "Bedroom Eyes," which soon became by far the most widely-read column this year in The Sun. What sets Jenna apart from other sex columnists is her brutal honesty -- she doesn't mind if her readers are "grossed out" by her writing, as long as she provokes some sort of response, whether positive or not. Jenna does not aim to please her readers with fluffy, tepid writing, bland trivia or scary health statistics about chlamydia. Despite the fact that her sex column has undoubtedly turned her into one of the most prominent figures on campus -- and the fact that both her professors and her parents read her writing -- Jenna remains honest, fresh and boldly uncensored through her use of personal anecdotes. She addresses a range of blush-worthy issues, from her self-proclaimed "slut pride" to the seeming dearth of "cunnilingus cowboys" on Cornell's campus with grace, intelligence and wit. Jenna does not take the overly-frothy, moderate "I couldn't help but wonder" Carrie Bradshaw-esque approach to her columns. Rather, her writing is more Dan Savage -- edgy, raw, controversial to some and occasionally profane, yet humorous and insightful. Her creativity and personality flow throughout her column as she imbues her writing with her own unique rhetorical style, even making such Jenna-isms as "baby gravy" and "wrinklebeast" into commonly used language on campus.

But besides her love for pushing the envelope and her unique writing style, Jenna differentiates herself from other writers by taking herself seriously not just as a sex columnist, but above all, as a serious college journalist. Her columnists are consistently well reported and researched, whether this means surveying Cornell undergraduates about how many of them have faked an orgasm, pulling data from a 1940s Kinsey study about the average penis size, or calling local Ithaca pharmacies to see if they have stocked Plan B. Additionally, Jenna is incredibly versatile, as she has the ability to write about a topic as pithy as the "alleged crappiness" of Cornell's dating scene, and just weeks later to reflect on an issue as significant and newsworthy as the Spitzer scandal, and Silda's decision to "stand by her man," relating it to the tendency of college women to blame themselves when their boyfriends cheat.

As the not-so-pseudonymous "Jenna B.," Jenna Bromberg has made a name for herself — at Cornell, in the Ivy League, and in the nation — as one of the top college sex columnists in the country. As the author of her column, "Bedroom Eyes," Jenna has established herself as everyone's favorite sexpert, cultural critic, motivational speaker and confidant.

In an age when college sex columnists have become commonplace, Jenna remains relevant, subversive and most of all a good read. Jenna's punchy prose style, razor wit and cleverly original lexicon carry her unique voice.  And her coyly raunchy message of sexual safety and self respect is bolstered by her willingness to be self-deprecating (for example in a column admitting her own lopsidedness).

Featured in publications ranging from Newsweek to the Web's IvyGate Blog, Jenna's work is accessible, universal and fun while retaining a worldview that's smart, incisive and sophisticated.
Her column is not limited to commentary on topics ranging from sexually transmitted infection to the ill-defined nature of modern romantic and sexual relationships: Jenna recently ventured into current events and cultural criticism with meditations on cleavage in popular culture, the follies of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, and the abstinence espoused by Harvard's True Love Revolution.

The primary goal of the Life on the Hill blogging project has always been to provide prospective students (and their parents) with true stories about what it's like to be at Cornell.  Jenna routinely presents her readers with candid, often hilarious, tales of her life on the Hill and has been directly credited with helping several incoming freshman to make the decision to come to Ithaca.  She shares the good, the bad, and sometimes the ugly with equal skill and integrity and can be trusted to treat even the most delicate of topics with the maturity required of someone blogging on behalf of Cornell.

On Fair Weather Friends

From the sheer volume of, um, feedback my last column generated, it looks like opinions are fairly polarized when it comes to sex during menstruation. To each his or her own — but hey, even if you only bothered to sit down at your keyboard for the sole purpose of letting me know that I’m a “SLOPPY HO,” at least I succeeded in prompting you to talk about leak week sex … suckas.

Celibate for the Hell of It

Dear Cornell University: I am having more sex than you. People, I have had so much sex this week that I’m fairly certain some sort of anatomical disaster is about to occur; maybe a vaginal prolapse, a desensitized clitoris or, conceivably, death.

Wanna Watch a Movie?

I love the guys at Cornell. They’re fantastic. In fact, despite my vast anthology of stories referencing men I’ve encountered that don’t quite do it for me, I get really defensive when girls whine about the selection of dudes our campus offers or the alleged crappiness of Cornell’s dating scene.

The Last Kiss Goodbye (With Tongue)

You’re all getting Nexted. I’m leaving you and running away with the Cunnilingus Cowboy, the fine feminist gentleman who penned the illuminating “My Night with Jenna B.” on Friday.

The Greatest Love Story You'll Ever Read

Put your keys on a key chain and put your ID in your wallet. The freshman lanyard-around-the-neck thing is so grotesquely band summer campish and is an unwelcome throwback to an era when acid-washed jeans reigned supreme.
