State University students had the rare opportunity in August of 2018 to meet
and discuss computer science, business, and life with Apple Co-founder Steve
“The Woz” Wozniak. The private Q&A
session – which was exclusive to current CSU students – provided a chance to learn
from Apple Computer, Inc.’s Chief Scientist of Primary Data. “They had an
extraordinary opportunity, and they seized it,” said Columbus State University
President Chris Markwood of the students who engaged in the Q&A. Student
asked Wozniak more than a dozen questions with topics ranging from Apple’s
impact on the gaming industry to his partnership with Steve Jobs to the pranks
he pulled on friends during college. One student, Chris Lovelock, who is an
engineering and robotics teacher at Double Churches Middle School, even brought
an Apple 2 computer and asked Wozniak to sign it. “Even though he is super
successful, his number one goal in life is to be happy,” said Hannah Turner,
computer science major at Columbus State. “That really struck me.” Wozniak, a
pioneer in the personal computer revolution, was one of 10 speakers at the 2018
Jim Blanchard Leadership Form. In addition to the Q&A with Wozniak, current
CSU students were also invited to watch the two-day event via live simulcast
from University Hall.

She recently played a large role in the creation of a video tour of the Synovus Center, the main campus home of the Turner College. The video helps to guide new students on where to go in the building and who they can talk to if they help. The video showcases the Student Services Center, the main lobby, and more. The video is played as part of a loop on video screens placed throughout the Synovus Center. Lizzy's list of activities at CSU is impressive.
