Columbia Collage is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of its online education program with Online Education Month.
Gov. Jay Nixon proclaimed October as “Columbia College Online Education” month in honor of the occasion.
“It kind of formalizes recognition for what we’re doing,” said Michael Grissom, assistant dean for Adult Higher Education and the Online Campus. “We have been around for 10 years now and people don’t know that.”
The college created a new way for Columbia College students to be educated on Oct. 27, 2000, by offering online classes to students both in Columbia and across the country.
