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...
…of the importance of the College to the community; not just for students who want an alternative to a four-year school, but also for single parents and other adults looking for an opportunity to better themselves. In my time working with the Foundation, I am proud of the scholarship money we have raised and the work we have done to give back to the community, and I am grateful for the lasting friendships gained. I am excited for the continued growth of the College, particularly with the new building in Lawrenceburg, which I expect, will have the same impact that the Williamson Campus has had. I hope to help contribute to that growth with continued involvement with the College beyond my term as a Foundation Board member.
