The support that I have received during my time on campus has allowed me to continue to pursue my education, graduate early and continue to make great strides toward my future. Columbia College has been the perfect place for me.

Fallon Loyd

My junior year, I took an entrepreneurial class. The teacher talked about different ways to start a business, and it was like a light bulb went on. It was a huge influence on me.

Jesse Walters ’12

Owner of Camacho Coffee

Columbia College has given me so many experiences and skills that I never would've developed otherwise. Through being in the Emerging Leaders Institute, becoming a first-year mentor, and just getting to know everyone on campus, I have become a better student, leader, peer and friend. I came into college nervous and apprehensive, and I have grown into a confident and knowledgeable person. Columbia College has made me into the person who I am now, and I am forever thankful.
