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.

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.
