This year’s Gala will be held at The Fives at The Reach on Goodale on Friday, May 19th at 6:30 PM. We will celebrate our honoree who is a shining example of engaged experienced and innovative educational leadership.  Dr. Harrison is focused on student outcomes and equity. Columbus State leads the region in expanding access to affordable college degrees through innovative university partnerships and alignment with high school partners.

Since his appointment in 2010, Columbus State has developed deep partnerships with universities to open access to affordable bachelor’s degrees through innovative 2+2 and 3+1 pathways; expanded access to postsecondary opportunities to high school students and developed creative partnerships with employers to address regional workforce needs. One shining example of creative partnerships is The Columbus Promise, providing Columbus City School seniors an opportunity to attend college tuition free and graduate debt-free!

The Anniversary Gala is the spring event to attend in Columbus. The Gala is a fundraiser and party with a purpose to support youth programs and performances. All proceeds from the evening will support The King Arts Complex in its mission to provide our community with artistic programming that challenges and inspires. We honor select community figures and provide guests with an unforgettable evening of entertainment.
