Columbia State Community College has announced an academic services reorganization that went into effect July 1, 2010. The College has reorganized into three divisions, rather than the previous five, with Humanities and Social Sciences combining into one division, and Business and Technology joining Science and Mathematics to become the Division of Science, Technology and Mathematics. Health Sciences is the third division.

Along with the reorganization of divisions, Columbia State has announced those individuals who will lead each area. Mr. Gene Humphreys was appointed as the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, Mr. Dearl Lampley the Dean of Science, Technology, and Mathematics, and Ms. Kae Fleming the Dean of Health Sciences.

"We appreciate the willingness of individuals to serve in these capacities and the important feedback that faculty has provided to the selection process and to the reorganization plan," said Dr. Margaret Smith, Columbia State Executive Vice President/Provost. "We are indebted to Dr. Linda Horner, Mrs. Sandra Serkownek and Dr. Stu Lenig for their past service as division chairs and count ourselves blessed that their leadership will continue to positively impact our college as they redirect their talents to other projects and to creating a smooth transition into the new organizational structure. Regardless of the future challenges, our collective dedication to our students and to the college will enable us to work in unity to implement new programs and processes, to build upon past successes, and to refine our systems."
