"The world needs more inefficient ideas. They won’t all succeed, and they will scare away investors in the process. However, the entrepreneurial world needs disruption and innovation badly right now. It requires the creativity of generational minds who aren’t constrained to just one idea or thought process."

On Friday, Feb. 9, Columbia College held a ceremonial moment of recognition to unveil a new plaque in the Christian College Garden on main campus honoring the integration of the CC student body in the early 1970s. The plaque also recognizes the formation of the Children of God Gospel Choir, which was comprised of the first African American students on campus. We were honored to have three members of this special group back on campus for the unveiling ceremony.
