Columbia College is a complicated organization, serving the traditional 18-22 year old student and non-traditional civilian and military adult students, in a multitude of modalities. Columbia College has more than 30 locations in 12 states and a location at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. The Main Campus and Evening and Online Programs are in Columbia, Missouri.
How does a diverse and complicated school like Columbia College serve the educational needs of all the students? One answer was to create regions for the unique program coordinators and directors at the locations under the guidance of a regional director.
Military locations are sorted by either military service or proximity. Civilian locations are sorted as stand-alone locations, defined as offices and classrooms in Columbia owned or leased buildings outside of Columbia, Missouri; or two-by-two locations which are Columbia College offices at community colleges.
The locations in Military Region 3 are:
- Redstone Arsenal, Alabama
- Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota
- Honolulu, Hawaii, a unique location that services military installations in Oahu, including Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, Schofield Barracks, Kaneohe, Tripler Army Medical Center, and USCG Base Honolulu
- Whidbey Island, Washington
- NS Everett/Marysville, Washington
Notice the hyphen and you will understand that the NS Everett/Marysville location is in fact two offices just miles apart. Marysville is located at the Navy Support Complex and is supported by Academic Advisor I Arlene Hruby and our newest addition is Academic Advisor I Lauran Tapp. Both are highly talented and ready to help with your education endeavors. The Everett Office located on Naval Station Everett is covered by the very capable advising of Mr. Larry Cousins. This trio is outstanding at helping our current and prospective students. Reach out and get to know our exceptional NS Everett/Marysville staff.
Be sure to read other articles in this newsletter outlining Columbia College’s newest of many initiatives designed to serve our prospective and current military affiliated students. The college has an exemplary tradition of service and change… see the latest and make an appointment to meet with Arlene, Larry or Lauran.
I am proud to serve as the senior regional director of Military Region 3!
