Whereas, Columbia College, in the State of South Carolina, was established in 1854 by the United Methodist Church as an institution of higher education for women; and
Whereas, Columbia College provides educational opportunities and leadership development to thousands of South Carolina residents and nonresidents; and
Whereas, Columbia College’s dedication to women’s leadership development is a commitment to the future of education and economic opportunities in our state; and
Whereas, the alumnae, students, faculty, staff and friends of the College strive to exemplify the 4Cs of Leadership: Courage, Commitment, Confidence and Competence; and
Whereas, the Fighting Koalas are champions of character and team spirit; and
Whereas, Columbia College’s Alumnae Weekend and the “Through These Gates” walk event promotes higher education through increased public awareness and celebrates the achievements of the College, acknowledging their critical and fundamental importance to the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
