It’s not unusual to see a class full of young children working on paintings, drawings or other art projects. But imagine a class full of college students learning how to make playdoh. It’s one of the unique, hands-on experiences for Early Childhood Development majors.

The Early Childhood Development Program had its origins in child care classes first offered Autumn, 1977 to experienced practitioners working in the field. In recent years the coursework has been updated and revised into a state-of-the-art program. ECD received degree-granting status from the Ohio Board of Regents on September 14, 1987. The ECD program was approved by the State Board of Education to train persons for the Ohio Pre-Kindergarten Associate Teaching Certificate April, 1988. ECD Mission The mission of the Early Childhood Development Program is to provide a sound academic and professional education, encompassing both intellectual and affective qualities, for a career in early childhood education.

Parking Spring 2011
There's some parking relief on the way later this quarter in the way of a new lot now under construction. However, until it's finished, parking will still be tight during peak hours. This latest video shows you where the new lot is located and it gives a few parking tips to help in the meantime. And remember, real-time parking updates are available on Twitter during the first week of classes at http://twitter.com/cscc_parking.

Winter Quarter 2011 Graduation

Inauguration marks an era of collaboration

With representatives from business, government and 20 other colleges on hand, Dr. David T. Harrison pledged a new era of collaboration for Columbus State.

Harrison was officially sworn in as Columbus State's fifth president at a ceremony Friday at the historic Lincoln Theatre. He dedicated his inauguration to Columbus State's 30,000 students.

"To our students, my heroes," Harrison said. "You are brilliant, persistent, creative, stubborn, busy and talented. You overcome obstacles, don't take no for an answer, and provide incredible hope for the future. "

Harrison declined to offer a "bold vision for the future," saying this was instead the start of a conversation. He said colleges must work together to help students finish college, and train the workforce that will build the region's economy.

"Without question, we're in the midst of a difficult time; a period of uncertainty. Perhaps the most challenging period in a generation or more," Harrison said. "I see this as a time for educators, and our institutions, to provide visible leadership. "

During the ceremony, Harrison received greetings from a number of local officials, including Dr. E. Gordon Gee, president of Ohio State University.

Columbus State is often people's first step to education, Gee said, whether they're starting college, wondering if college is for them, or if they've been laid off and need a new career. For example, many students complete the first two years of their bachelor's degree at Columbus State, then transfer to four-year colleges such as Ohio State to complete their degree.

"Columbus State is nothing less than the open door to the American Dream," Gee said. Dr. Harrison exemplifies those values.

Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman welcomed Harrison as a partner, both in redeveloping downtown and building the region's economy.

Columbus State is an invaluable partner for business, said Richard Rosen, a college trustee and VP at Battelle Memorial Institute. Columbus State provides training (or continuing education) for many Battelle staffers, from lab techs to accountants. Central Ohio lives in buildings built by Columbus State grads, eats in restaurants staffed by Columbus State-trained chefs and is protected by firefighters trained at Columbus State.

In addition to the dignitaries, Harrison was introduced by his wife Tracy -- herself an accomplished professor at Valencia Community College in Florida. He thanked his children Julie, Mark and Sam for supporting his career. Mark played a solo with the Columbus State Jazz Ensemble.
