Columbia’s First Town Hall Meeting of 2012Each semester Columbia Staff gathers to discuss various school wide initiatives in a Town Hall meeting format. The impact of our Town Hall meeting for our employees is three fold:
o Reflection - Employees are given the opportunity to openly reflect on the past year.
o Innovation - Employees are encouraged to brainstorm innovative ways to improve our services.
o Celebration - The entire staff comes together to celebrate the achievements of their fellow colleagues.
At Columbia International College, the beginning of classes is signalled not by the usual morning bell, but by pop songs such as Man in the Mirror, Lean on Me, and I Believe. These catchy tunes extol some of the positive character traits – self-advocacy, caring, optimism – that the school wants to see developed in its students as they live and study abroad. The unique morning bell is one of the ways through which the school implements its Character Building Program.

On Monday January 23rd Columbia students celebrated the Lunar New Year with Mayor Bob Bratina and other members of the community at City Hall.
Earlier in the month the Mayor’s staff invited Columbia students to decorate City Hall as well as perform for guests as part of their Lunar New Year's celebration. Columbia students jumped at the opportunity to celebrate with the mayor. Many of them thought it was a special way to ring in their first Lunar New Year away from their families.
