Chatham University’s new president says school, higher ed must evolve

Lisa Lambert said becoming president of Chatham University was never part of her career ambitions, but when her predecessor departed, the university needed an interim president quickly. Lambert agreed to step in because she believed someone who knew and loved Chatham would be better positioned to lead than an outsider. She was appointed interim president in 2025, the board asked her to stay on, and was formally inaugurated as the 21st university president on Oct. 15, 2026.

Proposed 2027 State College Budget Includes Real Estate Tax Increase

State College Borough is poised to raise its property tax for a third consecutive year. The borough's proposed 2027 budget includes a three-mill tax increase, a 12% hike that would bring State College's total millage to 27.88 mills. The tax increase, which is one mill more than that implemented for 2026, is part of a $72.2 million fiscal plan presented on Friday afternoon as Borough Council began its weeks-long budget review. For a home with a present-day market value of $300,000 and no homestead exclusion, the increase would equal $147.54 for the year, while with the exclusion it would be $72.54. For a property with a $500,000 market without the homestead exclusion it would mean an additional $245.90, or $170.90 with the homestead exclusion. The increase would generate $1,821,063 in new recurring revenue for a borough budget that remains structurally unbalanced for the seventh consecutive year. The total proposed budget includes $72,249,482 in expenditures — which is only $12,742 more than the approved 2026 budget — with revenue of $62,357,539, about $1.8 million more than 2026. It uses $9,891,943 of fund balances, as is typical. Within the overall budget, the general fund budget, which more directly represents current expenses and

State College may drop 'Little' from Little Lions. What to know about the rebranding effort

State College Area School District is weighing a rebranding that would introduce a new logo, lion mascot and motto while keeping its maroon and gray colors. Survey results showed strong support for dropping “Little” from the Little Lions name used by district athletic teams. FULL STORY: No more ‘Little’ Lions? State College Area School District may change logo, mascot, motto Here are key takeaways: A district rebranding committee is behind the proposal, which aims to create a more consistent and modern visual identity. The current logo was designed by a former student in 1985. High School Principal Laura Tobias said students don’t identify with being called “little,” and often chant “Go State” rather than “Go Little Lions” at athletic events. Assistant Superintendent Jonathan Bucher said the district’s eight elementary schools would keep their current mascots, and any new lion design should be “strong and powerful, yet not intimidating or mean-looking” to avoid confusion with Penn State’s Nittany Lion. The proposed new motto “Honor the Pride” would replace “We are the future!” School board member Jesse Barlow backed the change, saying he has long been puzzled by the Little Lions nickname. Costs have not been estimated, but Bucher said items like
