Student life

Newspaper

Cougar News was a weekly student-run newspaper, debuting in February 2005. It was distributed on Wednesdays during autumn, winter, and spring quarters. In October 2008, Cougar News became a web-only publication, cougarnews.net. As of November 2012, the Cougar News website is no longer active.

Literary magazine

Columbus State annually publishes a literary magazine called Spring Street. It comprises poetry, fiction, photography and other visual arts submitted by Columbus State students, faculty, staff, and alumni. 80 percent of the layout and publishing process is completed by students.

Athletics

The Cougars have four varsity-level sports teams, all of which compete at the National Junior College Athletic Association NJCAA Division II level. Before the 2007-08 academic year, the college had nine sports, but due to budget constraints, baseball, softball, track and field, cross country, and soccer were eliminated. At the same time, the women's volleyball and golf teams were promoted from the Division III level to their current level, allowing scholarships to be offered to student-athletes. The Cougars are also members of the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference OCCAC. In a span of three seasons (2003-2005), the volleyball program competed in three consecutive NJCAA DIII national tournaments, finishing as high as fourth nationally in 2004. The Cougars were paced by five all-Americans during that time. After moving to Division II, Head Coach Scott Nichols led the Lady Cougars to a 2008 NJCAA DII volleyball sixth-place finish and a 2009 NJCAA DII volleyball seventh-place finish.

In March 2008, the Columbus State men's basketball team clinched their first ever visit to the NJCAA National Championship in Danville, Illinois. Head Coach Pat Carlisle won three games against highly ranked teams before losing the championship game to Mott Community College on March 22. In 2009, the men's basketball team finished in 9th place overall. Columbus State is also home to the 1993 and 2003 NJCAA DIII Men's Golf National Champions, 2010 and 2011 NJCAA Women's Golf National participants, 2001 NJCAA DIII Baseball National Runner-up, 2004 NJCAA DIII Women's Cross Country 3rd Place finish, and the 2001 and 2003 NJCAA DIII Women's Cross Country 6th Place finish.
