Kenton County Adult Education offers many services: GED preparation, literacy services, college…read moreremediation assistance, ESL courses, workforce development and testing, and more. As an employee, I'm most familiar with the GED classes and preparation. Classes and instruction are offered at five locations across the county, in the areas of Covington, Independence and Erlanger. Some preparation is learning-center style, which means students work independently on subjects that an assessment indicates they need practice in. Other locations offer structured classes. In addition to GED preparation, ESL services are available as are literacy services (for students whose reading level is not yet sufficient to study for the GED). Kenton County Adult Education provides a caring, supportive staff at each site.

UC's Niehoff Urban Studio is located on Short Vine in Corryville just East of the UC campus,…read moreserving as cool studio focused on urban planning and working with the community. I attended Soapbox Speaker Series: Craft Beer As Community Development discussion with 3 local breweries Rhinegeist in OTR, Nine Giant (who opens in Pleasant Ridge in September) and Weidemann's in NKY. Great discussion on how craft beer brings communities together, revitalizes neighborhoods, creates jobs. Do we have too many breweries in town? No as the discussion continued citing Portland, OR and San Diego, CA as examples with 50 breweries. At the end of the session everyone enjoyed samples of the local beer. Thanks to Niehoff for holding the event & looking forward to future events in this space.

The Niehoff Urban Studio is a unique learning environment for students at the University of…read moreCincinnati. It is an interdisciplinary studio off campus (on Short Vine) that allows students to attempt to solve real world problems and interact with people in the community. I attended a speaker series by Soapbox Media (which I highly recommend, www.soapboxmedia.com) talking about the urbanist movement. Long story short, free beer and excellent conversations. If you ever get the chance to work/visit/participate here, I highly recommend it!

This location of the University of Cincinnati is an incredible value. There are not a lot of…read moreUniversity options between Dayton & Cincinnati so the fact that this UC campus is located in Blue Ash is a huge convenience for me personally. Also, the cost per credit hour is much lower than at the University of Cincinnati Main campus. They offer quite a lot of night classes as well as distance learning options (online). Every professor I've had here has been an adjunct professor. I personally enjoy this because most are employed in the field related to the subject they are instructing. I find that these professors usually have unexpected and interesting insight into the course subject matter. I always try to schedule my classes through this UC campus. It is small only two main buildings. Plus parking is included in tuition which is awesome.

She carefully watched and listened to me as I familiarized myself with the sewing machine. She showed me step by step from how to wind a bobbin to sewing the final stitch. I really appreciated all the trouble shooting advice if I happen to come across a problem. I highly recommend Sew and Go if you want to learn how to sew. Krista will help you be on your way from doing something simple as sewing a button or more challenging as making a quilt!
