Character Building is the Key to Success at Columbia
Fri, 01/27/2012 - 09:50 — aandamAt Columbia International College, the beginning of classes is signalled not by the usual morning bell, but by pop songs such as Man in the Mirror, Lean on Me, and I Believe. These catchy tunes extol some of the positive character traits – self-advocacy, caring, optimism – that the school wants to see developed in its students as they live and study abroad. The unique morning bell is one of the ways through which the school implements its Character Building Program.
