begins first step. UC Clermont.

As Dean of the University of Cincinnati’s Clermont College, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our beautiful campus. UC Clermont serves nearly 3,000 students whose studies encompass more than 50 bachelor’s and associate degree programs across our six academic departments. Our tuition is a great value—about half of the cost of other colleges and universities—which makes earning your college education affordable and within reach. Our students enjoy access to all of the same perks available at UC’s Uptown Campus, just 25 miles away. That means small class sizes with a student-to-faculty ratio of 14:1; expert faculty whose focus is on teaching; and a student-centered staff offering personalized attention. Our commitment to helping you achieve your goals doesn’t end there. UC Clermont is an open access college, because we believe everyone should be able to further their education. We meet you where you are on your academic journey and help you to complete your education at your pace. We also provide substantial financial assistance to our students in the form of scholarships and financial aid: The college awards over 300 scholarships totaling more than $400,000 each year, thanks to our generous donors. Support is never far away—whether it be a trip to our Learning Center with free full-time tutors, quiet studying time in our 21st-century library or a stop by our career services or accessibility resources offices. When our students graduate, they are ready to work and easy to hire. Internships, clinicals and practicums, domestic and international study programs, undergraduate research, and leadership development and training allow you to advance your critical thinking and analytical skills while expanding your view of the world and gaining professional experience. While academics are the heart of the college, our students are its soul. That’s why we offer national championship collegiate athletics like volleyball, baseball, softball, basketball and soccer, along with a wealth of student activities like student government, cheerleading, and faith-based and academic clubs. Our 91.2-acre campus provides a wonderful environment to learn, relax and collaborate with your instructors and peers. No matter your life path, UC Clermont is here to help you take your first step toward a better and brighter future. Best Wishes, Jeffrey C. Bauer, DBA Dean, UC Clermont College

Real-world

Research



Had I started anywhere else, I never would have been given this opportunity.



Pre-med student’s studies could help lessen antibiotic side effects in patients.

Heidi Rowles ’16, a dual graduate of UC Clermont College’s biological sciences and pre-pharmacy associate degree programs, has received international recognition for her research—all of which Rowles completed in UC Clermont labs. Rowles’s research has been published in many academic journals and focuses on using probiotics to decrease the gastrointestinal side effects of antibiotics. She has been asked to present her findings at conferences in London, San Diego and Singapore. “Side effects like diarrhea and gas cause many people to quit taking their antibiotics early, which can be dangerous,” Rowles says. “If we can reduce those symptoms with over-the-counter probiotics, patients are more likely to finish their treatment.” For Rowles, research is a family matter; her father worked as a chemist in UC’s Leather Research Lab. But Rowles had three young children to care for, and put off her ambitions for years, working full time at a printing company. In 2013, with her children growing older, the single mom knew the time was finally right to pursue her dreams. She enrolled at UC Clermont. Rowles first explored research in her organic chemistry class, eventually working under the tutelage of Associate Professor Michael Preston. He says Rowles’s published work is a significant achievement for an undergraduate student at any institution—and a unique benefit of a smaller regional campus like UC Clermont. Authoring studies is rare for undergraduates at larger schools, where graduate students fill labs.

Watch Heidi’s video about her experience transitioning from UC Clermont to the Uptown Campus: bit.ly/HeidiRowles

“I have had several students do their own research here,” Preston says. “These students have actually done things in the lab that their peers from other colleges are just starting to learn about in class.” One door that research helped open for Rowles was a full scholarship to Ivy League Cornell University—an offer she turned down to continue her education at UC. Rowles is now a pre-medicine student on the Uptown Campus and applying for medical school. “The professors at UC Clermont really take an interest in working with students,” Rowles says. “When I apply for med school, I can say that I’ve published my own research. It’s amazing. Had I started anywhere else, I never would have been given this opportunity.” University of Cincinnati Clermont College  7

Manufacturing

 Success “ ”

You’ve got to start somewhere, and the right experience is key to being successful.

Alex Komala’s industry experience helped him finish the degree he’d started years before.

For Alex Komala ’16, a graduate of UC Clermont College’s Manufacturing Engineering Technology program, the second time was the charm. Komala first started his academic journey as a pre-engineering student at the college in 2009, but when he was presented with a full-time job in manufacturing, he jumped at the chance—and found a new path to a degree. “I was given the opportunity to go into a tool and die-maker apprenticeship program,” Komala says. “I started out running a machine, then got into the making of the products, and finally transferred into new product development.” His employer also offered to pay for his schooling, and Komala re-enrolled part time at UC Clermont. This time, he focused on designing products through the college’s computer-aided drafting (CAD) program, which soon morphed into the current Manufacturing Engineering Technology program. When Komala returned to campus, he found that his original reasons for choosing UC Clermont remained true.

College Completion Academy Often, individuals who have completed college coursework—but stopped short of a diploma—can feel like there aren’t many accessible or affordable options for finally earning their degree. Enter the new College Completion Academy at UC Clermont, an initiative that aims to help former college students finish their academic journeys on their own terms. “In many cases, just having that degree can open up more job opportunities or more pay, or keep someone from getting laid off. There’s a lot of value to it,” says Blaine Kelley, UC Clermont’s associate director of student recruitment.

“It was close to home, small and down to earth,” Komala says. “There’s a strong real-world aspect to the program, and it lines up with what actually happens in the field.” As a full-time working student, Komala also appreciated the flexibility of the program and his instructors. “Instructors Chris Goodman and Dexter Hulse were great examples and mentors,” Komala says. “I had one of them for almost every manufacturing class, and they were great about working around my schedule to help me get the classes I needed.” Thanks to their guidance, Komala graduated with his associate degree and plans to stay in the engineering field, helping to design and oversee projects. He credits both UC Clermont—and on-the-job experience—with his bright future prospects. “I’ve put in the hours and the hard work,” Komala says. “You’ve got to start somewhere, and the right experience is key to being successful.”

Hands-on Learning,

Anywhere. At UC Clermont, learning isn’t contained to the classroom. Our experiential learning initiatives offer students a variety of experiences including internships, service learning, study abroad, and other creative and professional opportunities. Just one more reason great things begin here.

Portland, Oregon Second-year business students visited Portland to learn about the startup culture unique to the Oregon city. “Getting to see the entrepreneurial spirit out there made me want to do it for myself,” says Matthew Beighle ’15 and ’17, who also interned with Buffalo Wild Wings, Buffalo Wings and Rings, Chik-fil-A and Cincinnati grilled cheese startup Tom+Chee, thanks to UC Clermont’s business internship program. “The knowledge that comes from talking with real business owners can’t be beat.”

Atlanta, Georgia Querétaro, México This annual trip takes students to colonial Mexican cities where they meet with Mexican lawyers, business people and court officials while touring some of the oldest buildings in North America.

10  Every journey begins with a first step. Make yours UC Clermont.

Students in 2017 met with corporate executives from Delta, Coca-Cola, BBDO, First Data, the Center for Disease Control and Chikfil-A during a trip to Atlanta. “Each company visit opened students’ eyes to the potential opportunities that exist in the business world and in a professional environment outside of the Cincinnati area,” says Monika RoyalFischer, experiential learning program director.

Wyoming Geology students traveled to the vast plains of northeast Wyoming to analyze dinosaur and vertebrate fossil preservation conditions of the uppermost Cretaceous rocks and to map the K-T Boundary, a stratigraphic rock record that records the meteorite impact associated with the extinction of the dinosaurs. “I’d wanted to dig up dinosaur bones since I was 5,” says Steve Ransom ’17, who transitioned to UC’s Uptown Campus to earn his bachelor’s degree in geology. He plans to work in petroleum exploration. “I’ve learned field methods firsthand. Not every geology undergraduate has that opportunity.”

Sri Lanka A group of students traveled to Sri Lanka in 2016 as part of an international service learning and study abroad experience. Highlights of the trip included: volunteering in an orphanage and with street children; visiting Buddhist and Hindu temples; touring ancient ruins; staying with a Sri Lankan family; visiting an elephant refuge; and hiking in a rainforest.

Launched in 2017, UC Clermont’s EXCITE Center connects career education, the college’s intellectual capital and the business community to create new pathways in experiential learning and workforce training and development. The center is a functional one-stop shop that serves students, alumni, employers and community partners, redefining how UC Clermont connects businesses to talent.

Bringing Business to Campus PACE—which stands for professionalism, academics, character and experience—is the largest student organization at UC Clermont. PACE focuses on business and brings guest speakers from industry to campus to share their personal experiences. “We focused on bringing textbooks to life,” says PACE founding President Maggie Cowens ’15. Cowens is now corporate brands project manager for Kroger.

Serge Kikonda found a new home at UC Clermont—7,000 miles from his African upbringing. When Serge Kikonda ’17 was recognized with UC’s Spirit of Community award, the event marked an unlikely milestone in a journey that began on the other side of the globe. Kikonda, who graduated from UC Clermont College with a double major in Computer Networking Systems and Computer System Support Technology, was born in Africa and moved frequently around the continent. By age 18, he had lived in the Congo, Nigeria, Burundi and Guinea, where he graduated from a French high school.

“I really wanted to come to the states,” Kikonda says. An uncle in Cincinnati made UC an attractive option. “U.S. culture was so fascinating to me. I dreamed about it but wasn’t sure it was going to happen.” His dad agreed to send Kikonda to UC, but another hurdle loomed—the language barrier. He grew up speaking French and Lingala, a native African language. As soon as he arrived at UC Clermont, his fears dissipated. “I stepped foot on campus and realized it was a small, friendly place,” Kikonda says. Kikonda told each of his professors that he was transitioning from French to English. “They were all understanding and helpful. They would always work with me one-on-one if I needed it. That’s what got me to where I am today.” Before long, Kikonda jumped headfirst into the UC Clermont experience: He was a math tutor and supplemental instruction leader at The Learning Center, which provides academic support for students; captain of the men’s soccer team; and a student ambassador, giving tours and welcoming potential students to campus. He loved to share his experience with the tour groups he led. “If I can make it through my journey the way I did, anyone can do anything,” Kikonda says. “If I can inspire even one person to pursue their potential, I’ll feel like I’ve succeeded.” As he transitions to UC’s Uptown Campus to earn his bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, Kikonda knows he will miss the place that has served as his foundation and introduction not just to higher education, but to American life.

Support for Scholars Serge Kikonda received three scholarships that helped him choose UC Clermont—the Student Ambassador scholarship, Student Athlete scholarship and the Staff Book Scholarship. More than 300 UC Clermont students receive scholarships each year.

UC Clermont’s first bachelor’s degree program was the stepping-stone that helped Darla Slagh’s second act take flight. Darla Slagh ’13 has always blazed her own trail: She spent two decades as an air traffic controller when few women were in the profession. Slagh worked at multiple airports throughout the country during her career. But it was in 2012, while at Cincinnati’s Lunken Airport, that Slagh found herself at a life-changing crossroads. After a major medical episode, she almost lost her life. “When I woke up and realized what happened, I thought, this is my second chance.”

Landing a

 New

She held an associate’s degree in air traffic control and knew that her first step to something new was a bachelor’s degree, but she needed a program for working adults. “I called UC’s Uptown Campus and was told, ‘You want to call UC Clermont.’” Slagh learned about the college’s Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies in Applied Administration (BTAS), launched in 2011. She enrolled and worked full time while attending classes. Slagh graduated in December 2013— but didn’t stop there. She went on to earn her master’s degree in mental health counseling at UC’s College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services. In October 2015, she landed her last airplane as an air traffic controller and began working as a licensed counselor for nursing home residents. “I love being able to sit with someone and feel that I’m making a difference in their life,” Slagh says of her new career. “The resiliency and endurance that I learned in aviation, especially as a woman in a man’s world, gave me coping skills that are invaluable as a mental health counselor.”

Taking the Next Step The Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies in Applied Administration (BTAS) degree is geared toward those holding a technical associate’s degree—an AAB, AAS or ATS—and helps develop skills in leadership, communication and supervision, while preparing graduates for upward career mobility. Nearly 300 graduates have completed the BTAS program since its inception. The flexible two-year program requires 20 classes (60 semester credits). Day, evening and online classes are available, and students can enroll full or part time. “For those who already have a technical associate’s degree, the BTAS offers the shortest distance to a bachelor’s,” says Bruce Davis, professor of legal studies who coordinates and teaches courses in the BTAS program. For more information about UC Clermont’s BTAS program, call 513-558-6197, email [email protected] or visit ucclermont.edu/btas.

Slagh is now pursuing a PhD and recently returned to UC Clermont as an adjunct professor in psychology—a way to give back to the place that helped launch her second career. “The BTAS program was my first goal,” Slagh says. “It felt like a family; many students had kids and jobs, and we were all striving together to accomplish our shared goal of earning a bachelor’s degree. It gave me the foundation I needed to move forward.”

Cougar

 Pride “

Having athletics at UC Clermont sets us apart from our competitors by allowing our student athletes to strive toward their academic goals while competing for national championships.



— Brian Sullivan

UC Clermont athletic director

16  Every journey begins with a first step. Make yours UC Clermont.

UC Clermont’s seven athletic teams—women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball—offer ample opportunities for every member of our campus community to display Cougar pride! Our teams play in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA). The UC Clermont cheerleading squad supports the Cougars.

Swinging for Success The men’s baseball team finished runners-up at the 2016 USCAA Small College World Series. The team has returned to the world series for five straight seasons. In 2013, the newly constructed Brian Wilson Field in Batavia became the team’s home field. “Now, we can talk to any student athlete in the Cincinnati area and offer a quality baseball facility, a proven small college powerhouse and a quality experience in academics as a student at UC Clermont,” says Head Coach Keith Bauman.

Expert Faculty.    Focused on  

Your Success. UC Clermont’s 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio means our students receive individualized attention. And our instructors aren’t just committed to helping you achieve your academic and career goals—they are experienced in their fields and possess the firsthand knowledge to prepare students for work after graduation. In short: Our faculty members love what they do and want to help you find and excel in your calling, too.

“There’s something special about UC Clermont; it’s the people. I’ve had an amazing support system, first as a student and now a faculty member, and I hope to provide the same support to my students. What’s most exciting to me is where we are going to go. We plan to broaden our writing program offerings to reach more students, including those who are at different places in their lives beyond the associate’s degree. I think what we offer students can only get better.”

“It is very rewarding for me as a faculty member to see students improve their digital media production skills as they progress through our Digital Media Communications program. We specialize in producing media that will be used in practical applications for internal and external clients, so the students take an extra level of ownership when they know that their work will be used in real-world environments.” — Andy Curran, professor of computer programs

“I love working with students at UC Clermont because they all want the same thing: to make their lives better. I help them sort through all of the ways they can get where they want to go, regardless of where they started. Even more fun is when students see possibilities they didn’t even know existed before they arrived on campus.” — Greg Loving, professor of philosophy

— Sharon Burns, associate professor of English

At UC Clermont, 88 percent of our full-time professors have advanced degrees. These professors are in the classroom teaching, too; you won’t have a graduate assistant teaching your class.
