Meet Noah Jackson, our latest Student Spotlight! 💜

A rising junior majoring in Political Science, Noah is spending his summer getting real-world experience in the legal field, interning with the SC Fifth Judicial Circuit Solicitor's Office, the Legal Affairs Division at Prisma Health, and with Sam Johnson on city of Columbia policy work.

On campus, Noah serves as President of the Criminal Justice and Pre-Law Club, co-chair of the Honors Program, and a member of our swim and track team.

His advice for future Koalas? "Don't stay in one box. Take advantage of opportunities, get involved, and push yourself beyond what's expected."

From the courtroom to the classroom, Noah is building the foundation for a future in law, one experience at a time.

The results are in.

This year's Victory Day Campaign raised more than $304,000 from over 430 donors, nearly doubling last year's total of $162,000. Gifts are still coming in.

Alumnae took the lead, making up 38% of all donors. Faculty and staff tripled their participation compared to last year, and students, parents, friends, and Board members also contributed. It truly was a community-wide effort.

None of this is possible without you. Thank you for giving, for sharing, and for believing in what Columbia College is and what it is becoming. Columbia College is ON THE RISE because of your engagement, enthusiasm, and financial support!

Here is the story behind today.

On June 5, 1965, Columbia College Alumnae walked into a room and presented President Spears with a check for $372,170, raised in the year following a fire that destroyed the main campus building. They were not obligated to do so. They did it because this place meant something to them.

Sixty-one years later, Victory Day is our opportunity to honor that same commitment. We give because we love this College. Because someone gave before us. Because our students deserve the same legacy of generosity and care. Today, our ask is simple: give to the Loyalty Fund. It is an unrestricted gift, which means it goes where our students and our institution need it most. The 225-donor milestone unlocks $2,500 from our Board of Trustees by 6:00 PM. We can get there.

One more reason to give right now: anyone who makes a gift between 3:00 and 4:00 PM is entered to win a basket of Columbia College swag.

We are close, and the clock is ticking.

The Board of Trustees has committed to unlocking $2,500 for the Loyalty Fund if we reach 125 donors by 11:00 AM. We are within reach.

The Loyalty Fund is unrestricted, which means every dollar goes exactly where our community needs it most. If you have been planning to give today, now is the moment.

There is also something a little extra on the line: anyone who makes a gift between 10:30 and 11:30 AM is automatically entered to win a basket of Columbia College swag. Give for the right reasons, and you might just win, too.

Today is Victory Day.

Sixty-one years ago, the Columbia College Alumnae Association turned a moment of crisis into one of the most remarkable acts of generosity in this institution's history. After the main campus building was destroyed by fire in 1964, our alumnae pledged to rebuild, and on June 5, 1965, they presented President Spears with a check for $372,170. That is the Columbia College spirit.

Today, we are asking our community to honor that legacy. Our goal is 350 donors to the Loyalty Fund, an unrestricted gift that goes where our students need it most.

Give because you love purple. Give because someone did for you.

Visit www.columbiasc.edu/victoryday to make your gift.

Our goal is 350 donors to the Loyalty Fund, an unrestricted gift that goes where our students need it most.

Challenges, matches, and giveaways are all on the table. Stay tuned for details in the morning, or give early at https://bit.ly/4kkEt1A.

Koala Camp is a wrap! Columbia College's Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) program presented Koala Camp, a community outreach program for children with disabilities and their families. Over three weeks, families joined us in College Place to learn early ASL signs, guided by CC faculty, staff, and students.

Through games and activities designed to build real, everyday communication skills, these little ones walked away with signs they'll carry with them as they grow. Six sessions, countless first signs, and a graduation ceremony to close it all out. We love this program so much. See you next year! 🤟

We're celebrating 💜

Victory Day is almost here — and this one means something special.

On June 5, 1965, the Alumnae Association made a historic gift that helped rebuild Columbia College after the devastating 1964 campus fire, securing the college's future for generations of students to come. Now, over 60 years later, we're gathering to honor that legacy and invest in today's students.

Complimentary for all 2025–2026 supporters and volunteers, join us on June 5 from 4:30–7:00 PM for an evening of music, fellowship, refreshments, and community. Whether you're an alum, a student, a faculty/staff member, or a friend of the college, there's a place for you here.
