At Columbia College, the ultimate goal of the Wellness, Health & Counseling Services team (WHC) is to help students graduate. Numerous studies show that if students maintain a healthy lifestyle, they succeed academically! WHC has transitioned delivery of care to telehealth appointments via online video conference tools. However, the transition wasn’t immediate. Because of confidentiality laws and additional standards of care, the team had to complete 26 hours of training spec...ifically created for telehealth care before beginning that mode of support; CARES Act funding defrayed the expenses. We know from research that everyone’s anxiety has been higher, but I think we’ve done a great job of telling students that it’s OK to get help, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Terri Zeilenga says. Read how our services continue to evolve and change to meet the needs of our students on CC Connected: https://connected.ccis.edu//w-shines-through-pandemic-piv/ If you're a student seeking additional support, please contact the office of Student Affairs: https://www.ccis.edu/offices/campuslife/staff.aspx

An anonymous donor recently gifted a collection of more than 360 photos taken by world-renowned photographer Bruce Davidson to Columbia College, with an appraised value of $1.2 million according to Penelope Dixon and Associates of New York. This is truly a landmark gift for our institution, and we appreciate the generous donation of some of Mr. Davidson’s most recognized works, said Dr. Scott Dalrymple, president of Columbia College. These photos will certainly inspire our... art students for years to come. The prints will also impact students across many disciplines, as they focus on the different social events that occurred during the 20th and 21st centuries.
