Penn State World Campus was named Pennsylvania's top institution for veterans and service members for a third consecutive year. The recognition comes from Military Times' 2026 Best for Vets: Colleges rankings, released Nov. 9. World Campus also ranked No. 1 among institutions in the Mid-Atlantic region, up from third in 2025, and ranked No. 19 among 370 colleges and universities nationwide, including traditional and hybrid schools. Among 24 colleges, the university also ranked No. 1 in the Military Times' online category for the second consecutive year.

Military-connected students account for roughly one in five Penn State World Campus graduates. So far this year, 101 military-connected Pennsylvanians have earned degrees through the online campus, including 11 from Centre County. "Many of our military students live and work right here in Pennsylvania, and the Commonwealth is stronger when they can keep building their careers here,” Karen Pollack, interim vice provost for online education at Penn State, said in a statement. “A National Guard member in Pittsburgh and a veteran in Philadelphia can earn the same Penn State degree

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

The band earned the distinction through a competitive audition process that included approximately 100 ensembles from across the state.

The 2026-27 LTMS seventh- and eighth-grade band is the fourth ensemble in district history to receive an invitation to perform at the PMEA All-State Conference. Tini credited the accomplishment to the students’ dedication and the collective efforts of the district’s music department, teachers, administrators, and staff. “Achievements like this are built through countless hours of dedication and the daily work that often happens outside the spotlight,” Tini said. “Our students have spent years developing their musicianship, embracing challenges, and building the skills that allow them to perform at such a high level.
