Fallon Loyd

My junior year, I took an entrepreneurial class. The teacher talked about different ways to start a business, and it was like a light bulb went on. It was a huge influence on me.

Jesse Walters ’12

Owner of Camacho Coffee

Columbia College has given me so many experiences and skills that I never would've developed otherwise. Through being in the Emerging Leaders Institute, becoming a first-year mentor, and just getting to know everyone on campus, I have become a better student, leader, peer and friend. I came into college nervous and apprehensive, and I have grown into a confident and knowledgeable person. Columbia College has made me into the person who I am now, and I am forever thankful.
