25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Graduated From Binghamton University

People sometimes think of Binghamton University as a place where students go to prepare for careers in business, science, law, and other demanding fields. That is certainly part of its reputation. Yet the university has also educated actors, comedians, musicians, writers, television personalities, political leaders, and people who helped build major American companies. Some of those names are so familiar that their connection to this SUNY campus in New York’s Southern Tier comes as a surprise.

East Lycoming school receives bomb threat same day as Union County school

Lairdsville, Pa. — Renn Elementary School was evacuated this morning after a bomb threat was called into the school, according to East Lycoming School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory S. Scoggins. A bomb threat was also made to Linntown Intermediate School in Lewisburg this morning. Police have not said whether the two incidents are related. The call came to Renn Elementary School at approximately 8:35 a.m. Pennsylvania State Police were contacted immediately, and the building was evacuated. Staff and school resource officers moved students safely to an off-site location, where they sheltered in place. When it became clear that state police K-9 units would need additional time to arrive and clear the building, the district began its parent reunification process. All students were either reunited with parents and guardians or sent home on school buses. Two bomb-sniffing K-9 units later completed a thorough sweep of the building and surrounding vehicles. The school was given an all-clear shortly after noon. Scoggins said no students or staff were injured. In a letter to families, Scoggins thanked district staff, Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement, the Lairdsville Community Volunteer Fire Company, St. Mark’s Church, the Lairdsville Cornerstone Restaurant, bus drivers, and parents and

Penn College opens LPN to RN program to paramedics, surgical technologists

Williamsport, Pa. — Pennsylvania College of Technology (Penn College) is opening its LPN to RN associate degree program to paramedics and surgical technologists, allowing them to earn an associate degree in nursing in as few as three semesters. The newly named RN Bridge Program will be available to students applying for the Fall 2028 semester, the college said. It previously admitted only licensed practical nurses. Amber L. Morgan, director of nursing: associate degrees, said the change “aims to create pathways for non-nurse healthcare professionals who wish to become RNs by allowing them to build on their existing knowledge, skills and experience rather than requiring them to enter a traditional RN program designed for students with little to no healthcare background.” “This change is so important because it creates a more efficient pathway into the nursing profession at a time when healthcare organizations continue to face significant nursing workforce shortages,” Morgan said. “Surgical technologists, paramedics and licensed practical nurses already possess extensive medical knowledge, clinical experience and patient care skills that align with many of the foundational concepts taught in nursing education.” The nursing coursework follows a Friday-Saturday schedule, with one day of synchronous online instruction and the other of hands-on
