Parking Winter 2011

New Parking Lot to Open Soon

Parking will remain a challenge for students and staff returning to campus for Winter Quarter. However, a new parking lot is under construction near the parking garage and could open during the quarter, weather permitting. This video will show you where it's located, along with parking tips:

Real-time parking updates will be provided from 9:00 a.m. until noon during the first two weeks of classes on Facebook and Twitter.

Winter quarter is here and there's some encouraging news on the parking front. I've been a student here for a year -- so I know how challenging it can be. First the good news.

You may remember the old auto shop on the fringe of campus that had been boarded up for years. That was torn down a few months ago.

In its place they've been building a new parking lot for use by Columbus State students. It's off of Jefferson Avenue not far from the parking garage, so it's easy to find. This new lot will add an additional 300 parking spaces. While it won't eliminate tight parking conditions, it should alleviate it a little. With weather permitting, the new lot will open in sometime in January.

Add that lot to the 100 spaces right next to the garage that opened last quarter, plus the 50 across campus at Grove and Grant -- and you've got about 450 new spaces just for students.

Take a look at the areas shaded in orange on this map. Those are the different student parking areas and they're spread out all around campus. If you arrive during peak times, skip the lots closest to campus since they always fill up early. Instead, look further out.

One option is the overflow parking here at Fort Hayes High School just across I-670. It's open Monday through Thursday and it's just about a five minute walk to campus.

There's also the 28-S lot. It's even a little further out but it's one of last areas to fill up each day. It's a couple of blocks behind the bookstore on Mt. Vernon Avenue. Keep all these options in mind.

And don't forget there's real-time parking updates on Twitter from nine 'til noon during the first two weeks of classes. You'll find it at CSCC-underscore-parking. With the new lots there are now well over five-thousand parking spaces on campus -- including a thousand in the parking garage.

Dr. David Harrison, Columbus State President: Every single graduate here today has an important story on how you got here. There are over 500 stories of perseverance, hard work, academic brilliance, courage, and opportunities realized. Many of our students overcome difficult challenges to persist in their education. They refuse to be denied an opportunity to pursue their dream. Each of these stories has positioned you to start a new, exciting, rewarding chapter in your lives. You’re ready, and we need you out here. On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration at Columbus State: Congratulations!

Larry James, Keynote Speaker: Like many of you when I graduated from college I was eager to do well so I could make a difference for myself, my family and my community. 35 years later I’m still on that journey and at times find the struggle. But the pursuit is well worth it as you’ve experienced here today.

Trevor Winland, Summa Cum Laude Graduate: Looking back at my educational journey up to this point, I now realize how important Columbus State was. Without this institution I may have very well have given up on my education. For this, I’m extremely grateful. To the graduates here today, I want to wish you the best of luck, and hope, above all else, that you never, and I mean never, give up on your dreams or yourselves.

Dr. Michael Snider, Interim Provost: Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the graduating class of Columbus State Community College, autumn quarter, 2010. Graduates, you may now move your tassels to the left side.

Graduate: Oh my gosh, it was so great. The journey is over with school, but back again for my career.

Graduate: It’s amazing, I can’t believe I actually did it. I plan on continuing my education and see where life takes me.

Graduate: It feels great. I feel excellent. I’ve worked hard. I achieved what I needed to achieve. I’m ready to keep going, keep going in life, that’s what I’m ready to do.

Columbus State is rolling out a text message alert system called Rave Mobile Safety, so sign up today to receive these alerts.

You won't be getting commercials. We're using it for emergencies on campus and snow days only.

And the system is more than just text messages. It can already send emergency alerts to your student e-mail. You can also send it to your home email, or get voice messages to your home phone.

The video to the right will show you how to sign up, or you can just visit the Rave Mobile Safety site. Once you get there, just sign in with your regular Columbus State username and password.

(The system is free to students, although your mobile carrier may charge for texts.)

Virtual Escort

The Virtual Escort feature allows you to tell Public Safety when you're walking across campus, so they will know your destination and expected time of arrival.

Watch the video at right for a better explanation of this cool new feature.

Keep in mind, it's important to know the parking lot number if you are walking to your car. More importantly, if you're in a large parking lot or the parking garage, it will help to know what part of the lot you or going to or what floor of the garage where your car is located.

A new three-week training program for non-traditional students for the workforce is up and running. And there's no cost to students. The program trains unemployed - and underemployed - students for logistics industry jobs. They're mostly warehouse positions paying up to 15 dollars an hour. Classroom lectures are followed up with these on-site training sessions.

There's a period within the three-week program where the participants spend three days at one of the training sites and three days at another so they get exposure to different supply chain processes.

This recent session concluded with actual employers conducting mock job interviews for students so they could practice for the real thing.

You only have one chance to make a good first impression. And when you go into that interview that's a time to sell yourself and all of your strengths. A four-point-six million dollar federal grant is paying for the program.

Four decades after the event unfolded, "Kent State: A Requiem" examines one aspect of the tragedy.

Four students were killed on May 4th, 1970 when Ohio National Guard troops opened fire on students protesting the Vietnam War on campus. Columbus State theater students are the featured actors.

Written by by J. Gregory Payne, the play remembers the lives of the four lost students. Faculty member Frank Barnhart is the director.

Known as "The Day the War Came Home" -- the Kent State shootings changed the course of history.

Performances are all in the Nestor Hall Auditorium at 8 o'clock nightly this Wednesday through Saturday -- with a 3 p.m. matinee on Thursday. Admission is free.

[starttext]
High-tech learning is essential in most classes at any college and Columbus State is no exception. But in one unique class, students take a step back in time. Professor Robert Mergel's Surveying 100 class is where the present meets the past. The course is called Introduction to Geomatics. It's a complex title for the simple concept of surveying.
The course covers the history of surveying in Ohio and the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. The college obtained reproduction vintage surveyors' compasses and chains similar to those used by colonial surveyors.
Dean Bortz, Engineering Technology Assistant Professor, says "The idea is that with these students it gives them an opportunity to taste and experience different types of technologies -- past and present.
Students, for their part, welcome the challenge.
Kyle Watrus, a mechanical engineering major, says, "Seeing the simple ways to do it can broaden your horizons to see different ways to solve simple problems. That's all engineering is -- finding solutions for different problems."
Electronic engineering major Kevin Robinson agrees. He says, "Sometimes, technology breaks so you might have to start with something that you used back in the day. Those are reliable. There are no batteries, there's nothing electronic about that instrument."
While many colleges offer surveying history courses, few offer hands-on field projects that truly bring it to life.

You can take a wide range of Science courses at C State, including Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry. All are small classes to provide a formula for a valuable education. Some students even come here from other colleges just to take the Science classes.

Our professors, like Chemistry Professor Adam Keller, engage students in active and relevant lab experiences. Students often transfer to a four-year college after graduating from Columbus State, where they can study for careers ranging from Pharmacy to Forensics.

Columbus State maintains a wide range of Science courses, from Astronomy and Geology to Anatomy and Biology.

Real Community caught up with Dr. David Harrison as he got his first official tour of campus as the new president. Harrison took the job July 1, taking the helm of a fast-growing college. With more than 28,000 students, and a new campus opening in Delaware County, he’ll have plenty to keep him busy.

Before coming to Columbus State, Harrison was Vice Provost of Regional Campuses for the University of Central Florida since 2004. Dr. Harrison has strong ties to Ohio including degrees from Ohio State University and the University of Dayton and he spent an early portion of his professional career at Sinclair Community College in Dayton. He grew up in suburban Cincinnati.

Parking will continue to be a challenge for autumn quarter. Like most community colleges around the nation, Columbus State once again faces record enrollment. While we have thousands more students than a few years ago, the number of parking spaces has not increased.

WHAT COLUMBUS STATE IS DOING
As the number of students has grown, the college has added new sections of popular courses. However, we have capped the number of sections being offered during peak times (Monday -- Thursday from 10:00 a.m. -- 2:00 p.m.)
An overflow parking lot has been added at Fort Hayes High School. The lot is about an eight minute walk to campus.
Two new parking areas are under construction. One is behind the Child Development Center at the corner of Grant Avenue and Grove Street. This could be ready before the end of September.

Another lot is under construction next to the parking garage. It will be ready later in the quarter. Together, these two lots will add about 150 parking spaces. Even when they open, parking will remain tight during peak times.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
First and foremost, consider taking the bus or hitching a ride. Both options allow you to be dropped off at the front of campus and you won't have to spend time searching for a parking space.

Arrive Early. Some students (and staff) report having to spend 15 minutes or more trying to find a parking space.
Look at the lots that are the farthest from campus first (50 S, Fort Hayes High School). They often fill up last and may provide a spot with no hassle for early arrivals.
Follow us on Twitter. A special Twitter account has been set up: cscc_parking. If you follow that on your mobile device, we will be providing real-time updates from 9:00 a.m. -- noon on Wednesday and Thursday during the first week of classes, and Monday through Thursday during week two (Friday's are generally less crowded which provides more parking spaces).

Print out maps that show where various student parking lots are located and keep it in our vehicle. Any lot with an "S" is reserved for students.

Dr. David Harrison, the college's new president, will oversee the ceremony. Eddie Harrell Jr., President and CEO of the Columbus Urban League, is the keynote commencement speaker. Twenty-one of the graduates have perfect 4.0 averages.

The class is filled with remarkable stories of students' perseverance. * Mark and Jill Roush enrolled in 2007 at the same time as their teenage son John. Their home was destroyed by a tornado the following year. Then, last summer, an unthinkable tragedy: John died in an automobile accident. Despite the devastation and grief, the couple stayed the course. "Jill and I had to reach down into the depth of our souls and find the strength to be there for our beautiful daughters," says Mark. Each will receive an associate degree in business management. * Allison Whittington McLaughlin, 23, will receive her Associate of Arts. The Iraq War veteran was taking classes and about to be redeployed to Afghanistan in 2009 when she discovered she was pregnant. Already suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) she switched gears and changed her major to psychology. Says McLaughlin, "I hope to help people who have PTSD like me and so many of my Army buddies." * Hiawatha "Eddie" Adams, 33, will receive his Electronic Engineering Technology degree. He says an 8-week trade program (O.T.A.P.) at Columbus State changed his life. "For many years I ran the streets, and got into trouble with the law. I was desperate for a positive change. Through O.T.A.P. I found that change. When the program was over I was so hooked on getting an education, I enrolled full time at Columbus State."

With a reputation as a perennial national title contender enhanced by two straight National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II Tournament appearances, the Columbus State Lady Cougars have once again earned the respect of voters in the 2010 National Junior College poll released on September 8. Columbus State, which opened the 2010 season with an impressive 10-1 record starts the season ranked sixth in the nation.

The Cougars are coming off a 2009 season that included Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC) and Region XII championships, as well as, a seventh place finish at the NJCAA DII National Tournament. The Cougars are led by first-year coach Kevin Burch, who replaced Scott Nichols following the 2009 season.

Columbus State returns three student athletes while welcoming two transfers and a talented freshman class including local stand outs Melanie Burrell (Highland H.S.), Jennifer Neumeyer (Worthington Kilbourne H.S.), Dani Turner (West Jefferson H.S.) and Cearah Miller (Jonathan Alder H.S.).

They call it "lecture capture," but it lets learning go far beyond the classroom.

Using this new technology, professors can record the audio from a classroom lecture, pair it up with a PowerPoint presentation, and put it online. That gives students another way to review lessons before exams. Columbus State is Ohio's largest provider of distance learning classes, so our professors are getting lots of practice.
