A New Chapter for Downtown: Nittany Residence Club Breaks Ground
State College celebrated a new chapter in its downtown growth on Friday with the groundbreaking of the Nittany Residence Club, the region’s first “condo hotel.” Located at 321 W. Beaver Ave., the nine-story project will feature 70 luxury one- to three-bedroom units with a private fitness center, covered parking, and a lobby coffee shop.
“Flipping the Script — or Returning to the Original One?”
In a time when college or professional football played in college towns is driven by money, ego, and instant gratification, Penn State has an opportunity. This is not just about hiring a new coach. This is about reaffirming who we are and what kind of leadership we believe in.
What if we flipped the script?
Or better yet, what if we returned to our original script?

“When he first came here, he thought, ‘Oh my heavens… woods, hills. Don’t they ever stop?’ But he grew to love (Mount Nittany), and he loved just looking at it during practice, during games he’d glance over, and Mount Nittany was there… to Joe, it was a symbol of Penn State.”
Something’s Been Off, But the Blueprint Is Still Ours
Two weeks ago, Penn State was ranked number two in the nation. Today, we are unranked. Hearts are heavy. Momentum is gone. But this fall from the Top 25 is not just about missed tackles or red-zone inefficiency. It is about something deeper. Something cultural. Something emotional. And the answers will not be found in a playbook. They live in the soul of leadership itself.
