What to know about adenovirus, other viruses circulating around Penn State campus

Pennsylvania’s Department of Health is monitoring an “ adenovirus outbreak ” on Penn State’s campus. And, although campus numbers appear to be similar to last year, the university issued a news release last week so those with underlying medical conditions know to take precautions. Adenoviruses are a common group of viruses that typically cause flu-like symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , and people with weakened immune systems or cardiac/respiratory disease are at risk of becoming seriously ill. According to the state DOH, it first learned of Penn State’s increase in influenza-like illness through a nationwide system ( ILINet ) that tracks healthcare visits for flu-like symptoms. With more students seeking care at University Health Services (UHS), testing then detected an increased spate of adenovirus and other respiratory viruses involving students. “When a school, college, university, or other institution experiences more cases of illness than would normally be expected, it may be considered an outbreak and should be reported to public health,” DOH spokesperson Eli Steiker-Ginzberg told the Centre Daily Times in an email. “Monitoring outbreaks helps public health officials understand which viruses are circulating and provide recommendations to protect people at higher risk for severe

Bellefonte Rally Celebrates Election Results, Calls for Follow-Through on Campaign Promises

What started as a planned rally to protect election results against potential challenges turned into a celebration Saturday morning, as about 18 local residents gathered outside the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte following Tuesday's election. The gathering was one of more than 10 rallies planned across Pennsylvania, with organizers celebrating the results while calling on elected officials to follow through on promises to working families. Robert Zeigler, an organizer with Central PA United, said the rally was originally planned because of concerns that the election results might be challenged. But after strong voter participation and an election process he said went smoothly, organizers decided to shift the focus. Zeigler credited poll workers, election observers, volunteers and voters for helping make that possible. "Just because a certain political party has won doesn't mean that you can't hold them accountable," Zeigler said. Tuesday's election gave Democrats a projected 26–24 majority in the Pennsylvania Senate . The party also retained and expanded its majority in the state House, while Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro won reelection over Republican Stacy Garrity. Maren Larsn speaks at a rally celebrating 2026 election results on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, in front of the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte.

PA high schools do not need a phone ban

Pennsylvania’s statewide phone ban is claimed to help reduce student distraction and help students improve their grades. Many adults believe phones interfere with learning, but phones don’t solve the full issue. Lawmakers are focusing on the wrong problem or purposefully blaming phones as an easy way out so it looks like they’re doing something. All they are doing is putting band-aids on bullet holes. It might cover the issues, but it doesn’t repair the damage left underneath.

10 Pennsylvania Festivals That Prove November Is No Time To Stay Home

A single chrysanthemum plant in Pennsylvania gets trained to hold more than a thousand matching blooms at once. One plant. A thousand flowers. I still can’t get over that. Gardeners start growing it in January, and the planning for its big show begins two years ahead. That kind of patience feels wild to me, especially for a display that lasts only a few weeks in fall.
