Columbia College is reawakening the “pioneer spirit” from its founding 164 years ago and is focused anew on meeting community and educational needs, according to president Carol Moore.  Dr. Moore (at left in photo with Rotarian Felicia Maloney) was Capital Rotary’s Aug. 15 guest speaker.  She said the private liberal arts women’s college is expanding programs to include partnerships with Midlands Technical College, Benedict College, Northeastern University, non-profit organizations and business and industry.  Evening and online offerings will grow in the areas of entrepreneurship and workforce development.  “Columbia College has always been about experiential learning – applying learning out in the community,” Dr. Moore said.  The school also supports the City of Columbia’s revitalization goals for North Main Street.  With more than 40 years of education experience at six institutions of higher education, Dr. Moore holds BA and MA degrees in biology from Montclair State University and a doctorate in marine biology from Northeastern University.  She came to Columbia College in September 2017 and was named president in January 2018.
