It Gets Better Video Project

We’re determined to make Columbus State a safer and more welcoming environment for our LGBT students. Spectrum – CSCC’s LGBT and ally group for employees – in partnership with Cougar Pride and campus allies will contribute to the It Gets Better project by filming a video of the college’s support for the survival and success of our student and employee LGBT community.
