What do you love about working at Columbia College?

My favorite thing about working at Columbia College is the opportunity to pour into my students the way my professors poured into me. There is no school like Columbia College. This is a community that fosters academic excellence through love and support. I am thrilled to be able to work with the Teacher Cadet programs we partner with and the amazing teacher candidates we have in our Education Program. Each day I step foot on the campus as an instructor is a full circle moment that never ceases to amaze me.
