In this four-session online course, we’ll puzzle through the curious case of Dr. Albert C. Barnes’s important but often overlooked collection of Pennsylvania German material culture, including treasures from Ker-Feal, his former country estate.

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

Salena Zito: The wave beneath the wave

ERIE, Pennsylvania — In the last week of October, fall foliage in Pennsylvania's Appalachian Mountains reached its peak, with native hardwoods and understory trees ablaze in red, orange, yellow and purple. A Democratic governor cruising to reelection had no obvious reason to travel through these rural counties, but Josh Shapiro went anyway. A lodge in coal country was one stop on a bus tour that took him and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis through 29 counties in the campaign's final 10 days. Fourteen of those counties voted against him in 2022.

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.
