Alumni, Development and Foundation

The Columbia State Community College Alumni Association provides a formal communication link between the college and its alumni and friends, to provide a means for mutual support and to promote fellowship and the general educational goals of the college.

The Columbia State Community College Foundation encourages friends, alumni, economic partners and others to invest their time and resources toward the improvement of education at Columbia State Community College and making higher education accessible to students in our service area. Renovation and upkeep of campus science labs, underwriting of the Performance Series, and academic scholarships are among the accomplishments of the Foundation.

The Office of Development seeks out new friendships in the community, and maintains an open communication link with existing friends.
