Posted January 17, 200520 yr It's almost like a real college! From the 1/11/05 Enquirer: Cincy State's new building adds flavor It feels more like college now By Lori Kurtzman, Cincinnati Enquirer | January 11, 2005 It had theater classes but no stage. It had a culinary program but just one kitchen. It was a college with more than 100 associate degree and certificate programs, but "everything looked like high school around here," said Emily Puls, 19.

January 17, 200520 yr It's astonishing to see the campus up on the hill now if you're still used to the wooded hillside...
January 17, 200520 yr Is this the main community college for Cinci, or this something in addition to the standard community college?
January 18, 200520 yr OK thanks. Maybe Cleveland should change Cuyahoga Community College to Cleveland State. Make CSU into University of Cleveland. Then it would be a good school.

February 6, 200718 yr Cincinnati St. to debate new master plan Task force preps for future By Lori Kurtzman, Cincinnati Enquirer | February 6, 2007 A new term began Monday at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, bringing with it crowded parking garages and long book lines - and, in one room, a meeting that could shape the future of the school in the next decade. The subject: a new master plan. With competition breathing down its back and the numbers of high school graduates expected to level off, now's the time for Cincinnati State to rethink what it does and how it does it, President Ron Wright said Monday. The plan, expected in about a year, will encompass the academic programs at the campus as well as its buildings and technology. And it will likely call for changes.

The technical and community college has been content sitting quietly atop a hill - modest and practical - leaving the flashy graphics and catchy slogans to its bigger neighbor down the street. But that's changing. With competition rising and enrollment dropping, the college's leader says it must change.
