“This is a wonderful area of the state,” Howell said, “and I feel honored to be able to teach at the Brockman Center.
Howell said many people have shared with him they have wanted to take a course at Campbellsville University but couldn't because of the distance or time.

“This is an opportunity for them to take a class closer to home and, since it is an evening course, it may work out better with their schedules,” he said.
