PRESTOSPORTS PARTNERS WITH COLUMBIA COLLEGE FOR NEW ATHLETICS WEB SITE
ROCKVILLE, Md. - Columbia College, a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) member of the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC), has partnered with PrestoSports for a new athletics web site. The Fighting Koalas will take advantage of a unique design and a content management system specifically designed for college athletics to promote its five intercollegiate teams.
"Designing and maintaining a web site is a daunting task for a small athletic department with limited resources," Columbia College Director of Athletics Ana Oliver said. "The staff at PrestoSports has been incredibly responsive to our unique needs through the contracting process and we look forward to working with them to develop a distinctive and dynamic web site for the Fighting Koalas."
