Columbia College President’s Report
Client
Columbia College
Columbia College is writing a new chapter in the life of the historic women’s College, founded in 1854. In addition to successfully navigating unthinkable challenges over the past several years, including the pandemic, they made the difficult decision to welcome men to their residential experience in 2021. To share new goals, plans, and thriving attitudes with alumni, donors, and the community, they needed a vibrant President’s Report to tell the story.
Meeting with the College’s executive vice president for advancement and major gifts officer allowed us to peel back the layers on the past year’s accomplishments and gain a clear understanding of how the College plans to usher in a new future with a renewed emphasis on human thriving.
Dr. William T. Bogart, president of Columbia College, recently gave a speech in which he invited constituents to “thrive with us” as change unfolds. We adopted the theme to create “Yes, We Thrive,” the title of the new President’s Report and baseline for the common thread of information, statistics, and stories we would share.
The 16-page booklet outlines sections on Thriving with Academic Excellence, A Thriving Campus, Impact & Optimism, including an audited financial snapshot, and Thriving into the Future, highlighting opportunities to support the College so that every student, faculty, and staff member can thrive.
The Report features school colors, student photographs, campus shots, a donor list, and 2021 accolades from U.S. News & World Report Rankings.
We hope Columbia College continues to thrive, making a premier education possible for students of all ages and life stages.
