On February 19, Columbia International College held its fourth annual Town Hall meeting. Staff and faculty members came together to learn about the school’s upcoming initiatives and attended a health and wellness seminar.
The meeting also served as a platform to recognize and celebrate the achievements and dedication of dynamic staff by presenting two types of awards; Total Care® Awards which recognize staff for going above and beyond in their work; Long Term Service Awards which recognizes the long serving staff who have been with Columbia between 5-25 years.
