Author J.D. Vance Coming to Clermont
Author J.D. Vance will be speaking at UC Clermont in Krueger Auditorium on Friday, May 19 at 7pm about his #1 New York Times bestselling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy.
This special event is sponsored by Clermont County Public Library and is free and open to the public. No RSVP required.
Mr. Vance writes about his Appalachian, working-class roots and his personal journey – from Middletown, Ohio to the Marines to Yale Law School. The Wall Street Journal calls Hillbilly Elegy “a beautiful memoir but it is equally a work of cultural criticism about white working-class America….[Vance] offers a compelling explanation for why it’s so hard for someone who grew up the way he did to make it…a riveting book.”
No RSVP is required for Vance’s 7pm speaking engagement, but seating is first-come, first served.

LexisNexis is useful for all college students and educators, starting with a simple but powerful search box that allows quick results:
Hot Topics Links will help you to get to current news and topics quickly:
- Search the News, both in the United States and abroad. Comprehensive coverage from international and national publications.
- Look up a Legal Case, from the Supreme Court, Federal Court, and U.S. District Courts including U.S. Bankruptcy and U.S. Tax Courts
- Get Company Information from authorities such as Standard & Poor’s, Hoover’s and SEC filings, and stock reports.
The Advanced Options can help you locate the specific articles or documents you are looking for. The navigation will help you further narrow the results down by date, name, publication title, geographic location and more–until you find what you need.
LexisNexis Help offers online tutorials through its YouTube channel.
Use the Off-Campus access when you are not on a UC Campus.
