EmpowerU recently announced their upcoming spring semester of free classes on current topics related to education, politics, history and government. Empower UAmerica, a non-profit organization, was created in 2010 by Dan Regenold, founder and CEO of Frame USA. His vision was to create a free university in the Greater Cincinnati area to empower people through information and education.
In the spring of 2015 Regenold turned a storage room at Frame USA into a studio that seats 100 people with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment. This allows classes to be attended in person at the Springdale, Ohio location or virtually.

Tom Hagedorn, a student of American history for over 30 years, will present details of the “stealth” government working behind the scenes to focus on issues that only matter to them.
