Columbia College is one of the best things that has happened to me. I have met my best friends here and I have grown as a person. I have been able to become a member of TRiO, a first-year mentor, a student ambassador, a study abroad ambassador, TEACH Club president, and maintain a flexible job because of Columbia College. I am/will be forever grateful for Columbia College!

Columbia College has opened a world of opportunities. As an international student from Ecuador, I have learned so much about different cultures, as well as being able to proudly share mine. Ever since I got here, I have been looking for leadership opportunities since I love to be involved on campus. I was a resident assistant for a year, I was involved in the student government, and I am a part of four student organizations.

I have had a lot of fun with my unique classes that I couldn’t have had anywhere else. I have also had the amazing opportunity to have my first job ever, working to contribute to a better college community.
