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."

Columbus State Biology Professor Dr. Martha Sucheston is on the cutting edge of classroom technology. So much so that she was one of just ten educators who received a 2010 Faculty Innovator Award from the Ohio Board of Regents. Dr. Sucheston took standard - and what some would say boring - anatomy text lessons and transformed them into videos for students to study.
