Columbus State Community College is small compared to nearby Ohio State University, yet its new president David Harrison is making changes that will have lasting impacts on students and those in the greater community. Harrison has committed to helping the Lumina Foundation — Indianapolis-based foundation — work towards its goal of increasing the proportion of Americans with college degrees, certificates, or other credentials to 60 percent by 2025.  Harrison has engaged the help of the broader Columbus community, and so far many companies have pledged their support.

Sixteen years after the notorious scandal, Stephen Glass, former associate editor of New Republic, apologizes for his previous deeds. Glass was a rising star in the journalism who published "bizarre and amazing" stories that were immediate success.
