A strong money supply and a spike in the hours worked by factory employees have helped the Erie-region economy avoid a dreaded “double-dip” recession, says Jim Kurre, director of the Economic Research Institute of Erie and an associate professor of economics at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College.
The nursing program at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, has renamed an annual student award to honor Alyssa J. O’Neill, a student who died in September after suffering a grand mal seizure.
O’Neill, 18, was a freshman at Penn State Behrend. She planned to enter the college’s nursing program at the start of her sophomore year.

Papers and exams can be a point of stress for first-year students, but it’s not the kind of stress that Mike Wehrer knows.
Wehrer, a freshman communications major and current managing editor of the Behrend Beacon, is a member of the United States Air Force Reserves. The 23-year-old Girard, Pa., native spent a half year deployed in Afghanistan in 2011, and it’s safe to say college exams pale in comparison to some of the things that Wehrer experienced.
