Can a list of columns be used with this?

Question

I'm curious if there is a way to pass in a list of column names and possibly table names too instead of just using one of each in the code below.  Thanks in advance for any help!
IF EXISTS(select * from sys.columns
where Name = N'myColumn' and Object_ID = Object_ID(N'myTable'))
begin
-- Column Exists
PRINT N'The column exists';
end
ELSE
-- Column doesn't exist
PRINT N'The column doesn''t exist';
GO

Hello "new to sql server"
Here is my suggestion for your requirement
declare @list as table (
tablename sysname,
columname sysname
insert into @list select N'Employee', 'first'
insert into @list select N'Employee', 'username'
insert into @list select N'Employee', 'last'
insert into @list select N'Countries', 'Code'
insert into @list select N'items', 'Id'
insert into @list select N'items', 'State'
insert into @list select N'Books', 'Author'
select
u.tablename,
case when t.object_id is null
then u.tablename + ' table does not exist'
else
case when c.object_id is null
then u.columname + ' column does not exist in table ' + u.tablename
else
u.columname + ' exists in table ' + u.tablename
end
end
from @list u
left join sys.tables t on u.tablename = t.name
left join sys.columns c on t.object_id = c.object_id and u.columname = c.name
Please note that on your SQL Server version sys.tables might be used as systables, and similar case for sys.columns table
