Everything is happening over at the former Warren County Courthouse at 300 E. Silver St., a 19th-century justice center resurrected as a light, airy place devoted to learning. Mr. Paduk, director for Lebanon's University of Cincinnati Center, guides a program designed to bring higher education to the seat of Warren County. It's done with high technology and higher expectations. We've continued to grow slowly ever since, but attendance is not where it should be.
Most students hold full-time day jobs and place their hopes in the night.
Lebanon's enrollment is even small compared to UC's Clermont College in Batavia, which started with 300 students in 1972. The school now has 2,500. City leaders hope that one day Lebanon's center will grow into a small campus. One class on finance drew 50 a week. So there's different facets to our program.
