A New College Begins with Facilities of the Former Saint Catharine College

The Chronicle of Higher Education published an interesting article by Scott Carlson on May 6, 2018, "This Software Millionaire Is Building the Low-Tech College of His Dreams."  Carlson interviewed Kevin Runner who purchased the former Saint Catharine College in Springfield, KY and intends to create a "...research hub for renewable energy, a training ground for cutting-edge organic farming and ancient crafts, a life raft for a rural population...a utopian community based on cooperative living and practical skills."  

Runner is considering a number of different ideas for Runchero University at this point and he has hired several people with higher education experience to help with the startup process.  You can also like and follow the Runchero University page on Facebook to learn more.
