Foundation
Formed in 1971 as an institutionally related, yet independently chartered 501(c)(3), we support and partner with the college to positively impact student success and our communities.
I Support Columbia State because...
…the quality education and job training the College provides at an affordable price. When the Clifton campus opened, we were so excited to have a college in Wayne County. Columbia State offers rural areas opportunities that prepare students for their future, which may not otherwise be available. The Foundation Board is a group of strong community leaders with Columbia State at heart, and I am proud to continue to serve as an ambassador for the Board.
Jason Rich, former Wayne County Mayor, served on the Foundation Board from 2014-2020, including serving as Trustees Committee chair from 2019-2020. His wife Stacey is a Columbia State alum.
