The easiest way to be in the know.
It’s Friday, April 11, 2025: This week, we get our first look at West Chester University’s long-promised Master Plan. It’s big, bold, and drops a lot of famous names, but while it’s full of inspiration and ambitions, it is light on details—and definitiveness. “It’s really early in the process,” Dr. Jeffery L. Osgood, Jr., WCU executive vice president and interim provost, told me. Still, I like the gumption. Dream big. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither will the new WCU. Plus, West Chester’s revised trash ordinance comes up for a vote, an another local institution faces the reality of Federal cuts, and events. Lots and lots of events.
Ok, who’s ready? Let’s catch up.
Correction: Last week, I incorrectly announced that Greystone Elementary’s Nina McGlinchey was named a 2025 Citadel Heart of Learning Award recipient. That, however, was not quite right. “She goes by Nini McGlinchey,” reader Kerry Ann Mai shared with me over the weekend. “She is my youngest’s kindergarten teacher. She really is wonderful, and I couldn’t think of someone more deserving of that award.” Kindergarten teachers really are the best, aren’t they? Congratulations again, Nini!
