Last night I had the great pleasure of participating in a campus program led by Natasha Arora and the Columbus State University Honors Program, under the direction of Dr. Cindy Henning. Held in our new Schuster Student Success Center the gathering of students, faculty, staff and community members focused on the January 12 tragedy and devastation of the Haitian earthquake and the Columbus State University response. Joined by Professors Studstill and Wakoko along with Mitzi Oxford from West Central Georgia Chapter of the American Red Cross, our students have mobilized an extensive amount of fund raising efforts to support the millions suffering in Haiti. I am so very moved and proud of our students and their passion to help. One of Columbus State University's core values is Servant Leadership and the efforts led by and implemented by our students endorse this value. These are the moments that are so very gratifying and give great confidence in future leadership.
