Columbia International University is Working to improve its Neighborhood; a Columbia Newspaper Explains Why
Andre Melvin, pastor of Temple Zion Baptist Church heads a community input group: "We want to make sure we come together to make our area safe. We see CIU as an ally in that effort."
When Columbia International University broke ground on a new Global Business & IT Center near the campus entrance in early May, it symbolized more than a new building. It marked a revitalization of the Monticello Road corridor, the gateway to the CIU campus. The event caught the attention of The State newspaper of Columbia and economic development reporter Jeff Wilkinson.
Read Wilkinson’s article here to learn more about CIU’s role in this exciting development in the North Columbia area. The article includes video comments from CIU President Dr. Mark Smith during a "ride around" of Monticello Road.
CIU has announced $25 million in expansion plans for the campus, including construction of the $20 million William H. Jones Global Business and IT Center. Information on CIU programs and enrollment is available here or call (800) 777-2227, ext. 5024. CIU is accredited by SACS-COC.
