While different than we imagined, Homecoming 2020 was one for the books! From Columbus to LA to DC, we connected with alumni both near and far. From CougarFest, Senior Toast, and Virtual Day of Service, there was something for everyone. Thank you for celebrating Columbus State with us. Go Cougars!

Wrapping up a successful Homecoming Week with our Drive-In. Thank you to all who have attended events throughout the week. Go Cougars!

Starting now What Does It Meme?! These days, communicating with memes can be considered an essential skill. Memes are units of cultural information that pair visual elements with relatable quips and can be used to engage employees, customers, and students. While it's relatively easy to search for a relevant meme that already exists, learning how to generate your own can be more frustrating, but more impactful. CSU Continuing & Professional Education and the Alumni Assoc...iation are here to make sure your skills stay up-to-date! Join us for a fun, virtual tutorial on how to create memes using free resources. Get the tools and tips you need to get your creative juices flowing and design an engaging meme that works for you.
