SpearsFest 2025
SpearsFest is named in honor of Columbia College's 12th president, Dr. R Wright Spears. It is a day when members of the Columbia College community are invited to share the wide variety of academic excellence and experiential learning occurring across campus. Students, faculty, and staff are all invited to present and attend individual and group presentations. The program runs conference-style presentations and events throughout the day in classrooms and event spaces across campus. Annual evening programs will follow in Spears Concert Hall and Cottingham Theatre. Classes before 5 pm are canceled for the day to allow the community to participate in this celebration, recognizing community, leadership, and service learning.
After the presentation and event submissions from the Columbia College community are received and compiled, a link to view the full 2025 program of events will be added.
