About Columbus State...Multicultural Affairs

The Office of Multicultural Affairs and Community Outreach is responsible for the leadership of all programs and activities of the College which act to increase minority student access and retention within established policies and procedures of the College. Several goals of the Office are to:

• Implement orientation and professional development programs related to minority affairs, for administrative, instructional, professional, and support personnel of the College;

• Increase the employment of minority staff, faculty and administrators;

• Promote activities and programs that will result in increased retention and graduation rates of minority students; and

• Market Columbus State Community College as an attractive institution of higher education for minorities to pursue their career goals.

• The accomplishment of these goals are pursued in collaboration with appropriate offices and departments of the College.

The Office is involved in outreach in the Columbus community. Working relationships have been developed with middle and high school principals, counselors, teachers, ministers, civic and community leaders and government officials to increase minority student enrollment and retention. Through campus visitations and enrollment in college credit articulation programs, minority students gain exposure to the College.

Quarterly workshops, seminars, and forums are conducted by the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
