Columbus State University’s College of Education & Health Professions has inducted five distinguished alumni into its Hall of Fame, recognizing their contributions to education, nursing and community service. The honorees were celebrated during a ceremony on Feb. 19.
“Our newest inductees demonstrate the power our graduates and partners have in shaping the quality of life in their communities,” said Margie Yates, dean of the college. “When people evaluate a community’s quality of life, they often do so based on the quality of its education and healthcare infrastructure—two important indices to which our honorees directly contribute.”
Since its inception in 2005, the Hall of Fame has honored nearly 70 alumni from the fields of education, nursing and health professions. Originally focused on education graduates, it expanded in 2018 to include nursing and other health-related disciplines. Honorees must have at least 15 years of experience in their field and have demonstrated extraordinary contributions to their profession.
The nomination process remains open throughout the year, with a selection committee comprising faculty and community leaders reviewing submissions.
