“We are proud to support the good work going on at UC Clermont,” said Dave Gooch, president of Park National Bank’s Southwest Ohio & Northern Kentucky Division. “The spirit of giving back to the communities that support us connects directly with the core values of our organization. We think supporting the students who will become our community’s future is a great way to do that.”

The Community Arts Series at UC Clermont College includes Calico Children’s Theatre, which showcases performances for families with young children, and the Park National Bank Gallery, which features juried local and national art exhibits.
