CSU Staff Council Garage Sale

Just heard that the Columbus State University Staff Council is having a Garage Sale on June 20, starting at 8 a.m. Faculty and staff can reserve a table for $10. Everyone is invited to come out - it will be held in the parking garage (which our ROTC folks have dubbed "Cougar Mountain") next to the Lumpkin Center.

Another Budget Cut Announced

More bad news from the state today - another 2 percent budget cut has come down from Atlanta. This economy is really starting to sting. We've got lots of good people on campus though, people committed to our mission academic excellence, and we'll work through this. We've got to get the academic folks and the business folks in a room and prioritize our end-of-the-year expense requests. Some things may not get funded. If a P.O. is issued, then there was money for the purchase. Thanks for your understanding, and your leadership in working through these issues.

And You Thought We Only Knew Mozart

Want to see something fun? Columbus State University's Schwob School of Music is internationally known for its excellence. We have students and faculty down there who can play with anyone, anywhere, at any time. You can see some of their talent on YouTube. This one in particular sure could be an Internet sensation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzlfbA9791k

CSU To Offer Classes in West Point

Columbus State recently got the green light from the Board of Regents to offer classes in West Point starting this fall. This will be a great step ahead for both Columbus State University and that region of Georgia. For more information, go to http://WestPoint.colstate.edu
