With the first week of Fall 2023 classes almost complete, Turner College and other CSU students have experienced firsthand the fact that Columbus State is now a Microsoft campus. That is, since the end of Spring 2023 the University has been migrating from its Google platform to the new Microsoft platform. This change has so far meant that students, faculty and staff have been using Outlook as their means of e-mail communication rather than the Gmail platform offered by Google. Currently, students are migrating to new e-mail accounts that will appear as "lastname_firstname@students.columbusstate.edu" while faculty and staff will continue to use e-mail addresses that do not include the "@students." portion. In addition to being able to distinguish students' communications for those of others, this migration process has allowed for alumni e-mail addresses. These will include an "@alumni" tag in the address. Any Turner College (or other CSU) student experiencing problems from this migration process are invited to contact the UITS Help Desk for technical assistance. The Help Desk has two locations -- the Simon Schwob Library on CSU's main campus and Dillingham Place on CSU's RiverPark campus. As it currently stands, all former Google platform e-mail accounts have been deactivated, so taking care of any related issues sooner rather than later is essential.

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. She is the Treasurer of the Turner College's Marketing Club, the President of Marketing for the Turner College's chapter of the Financial Management Association, and an Ambassador for the Turner College. She is also the Treasurer of her s
