Columbia College baseball is making its big debut next February after a 35 year hiatus. The reinstatement of the team is a product of the athletic department’s five year plan. “We had a five year strategic plan of development and growth and part of that was expansion, I think for several reasons,” said Athletic Director Bob Burchard. “Number one is to add depth and breadth to our department in terms of our offerings and then to provide a balance of sport opportunities to recruit new students to Columbia College.”
