Bucknell linguist Hiram Smith to give public lecture at Lycoming College

Williamsport, Pa. — Lycoming College will welcome Hiram Smith, the Ruth Everett Sierzega Chair in Linguistics and associate professor of Spanish and linguistics at Bucknell University, for a public lecture titled “What We Need to Know About Our Own — and Each Other’s — Language.” The free lecture is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 in the Trogner Presentation Room in the Krapf Gateway Center, followed by a book signing and reception at 8 p.m. The event, hosted by Lycoming College’s Humanities Research Center, is open to the public. Smith’s research examines language variation and change within marginalized speech communities across the Americas, including African American English, Palenquero, and Pennsylvania Dutch. His work involves community members in every stage of the research process, from data collection to co-authorship. The lecture draws on Smith’s research into Creole languages and the stigmatization they face. His work on Palenquero, an Afro-Hispanic Creole language spoken in northern Colombia, examines how languages can be dismissed, devalued, and yet still survive. That thread also runs through his study of African American English and his book, “Wassup, My Nigga: The Hidden History of a Controversial Word” (Georgetown University Press), which traces how stigma shapes the way

Penn State World Campus Earns No. 1 Rankings for Veterans

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. The rankings recognize institutions based on how well they serve military students, including active-duty service members, veterans, reservists, National Guard members and military spouses. 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

Penn College receives ‘Best for Vets’ recognition

Williamsport, Pa. — Pennsylvania College of Technology is among 370 institutions nationwide and 15 in the state recognized in the Military Times’ 2026 Best for Vets: Colleges rankings. “The military-connected student today looks different than many people imagine,” said Jon Simkins, editor-in-chief of Military Times. “It’s a veteran starting a second career, a Guard member balancing drill weekends with classes, a spouse finishing a degree between moves. The schools on this year’s list understand that, and they’re building support around the real lives of the people they serve. That’s exactly what we want our readers to know when they’re choosing where to invest their education benefits.” Colleges and universities are selected for the list based on a detailed survey of each school’s policies, programs and outcomes. The survey covers school culture, student support services, academic policies, costs and financial assistance, and military-connected student success rates. This is the fourth time Penn College has made the Best for Vets list. “The folks at Military Times conduct one of the most comprehensive evaluations of colleges and universities across the country. We are proud at Penn College to be recognized for our long-standing commitment to supporting those who have chosen to serve our
