One by one, first-generation Warriors stood up, introduced themselves, and began sharing personal stories of pride, fear, joy, uncertainty, responsibility, and a medley of other emotions that came with being the first in their families to attend college. Students spoke of successes and setbacks, but each story concluded with a common theme: the Generation One Club was a place where they felt heard and understood, and GenOne Week was a celebration that allowed them to pause and appreciate the progress they’ve made. Held from Nov. 3-7, GenOne Week at East Stroudsburg University featured events and activities designed to bring first-generation students together. At this particular gathering, called “Knowledge for College,” each student in attendance opened up about their experiences.

Barrett Township Planning Commission Meeting - November 5, 2025 - 5:30 PM

“The stories of our Indigenous people have shaped the very foundational fabric of our modern day. And so much of that is just not known, not felt, not acknowledged.” Lily Gladstone said this in February of 2024 after her role in the film Killers of the Flower Moon earned her an Oscar nominee. In which she shared her plan for Indigenous inclusivity. Born on the Blackfeet Reservation, August 2, 1986 and discovered her dream at the young age of 5. She had just seen Star Wars at the time and was determined to depict Ewok. She played an evil step sister just a few years later for Missoula’s Childrens Theatre’s production of Cinderella.  After moving to Seattle to be closer to her grandmother Lily starred in films and plays in Stone Soup theatre. She graduated from Mountlake Terrace High School as part of the Class of 2004.

The northern lights reached as far south as Florida overnight, thanks to some strong geomagnetic storming. If we're lucky, we may get another glimpse again Wednesday night.

East Stroudsburg University hosted its 17th annual Veterans Day Celebration Tuesday, November 11 to recognize local veterans, servicemen and servicewomen in all branches of the armed services. The celebration included a military observance adjacent to the “Julia” statue at the front campus circle. Julia was originally acquired by East Stroudsburg State Normal School alumni in 1919 to commemorate and honor the school’s servicemen and women who had died in World War I.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris explained one year ago, on November 5, after conceding the presidential race to Donald Trump, “When we fight, we win, but sometimes the fight takes a while.” One year later, after the November 4 election, the fight she mentioned is starting to show. Democrats all over the country stood up on Tuesday night with the hope and joy that they had wished to feel last year. As much as local elections are not important, major gubernatorial, retention, and mayoral races took place nationally, which were significant to the growth and change of the Democratic Party and the country.  Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court was seeking retention for three out of seven judges. Retention is the vote to keep candidates on the ballot after their term has come to an end. It is a re-election.
