Hershey High School’s vocal ensemble, “Cantabile,” will join Penn State Harrisburg’s student choir to herald the coming of the holiday season in a free public concert December 8 at 5:15 p.m. in the Morrison Gallery of the college library.

“Cantabile” is an auditioned ensemble that meets daily at the high school.  It is one of four choirs in the school’s vocal music program.  Repertoire performed by Hershey Cantabile ranges from Renaissance to popular. 

Web site profiles American emigration to Liberia

News Picture

Building on years of research and two published books, a Penn State Harrisburg faculty member has created a web site dedicated to profiling the historic African American emigration to Liberia.

Associate Professor of Communications and Humanities C. Patrick Burrowes unveiled his interactive web site entitled “Like a Motherless Child: African American Emigrants to Liberia, 1820-1904” as part of a presentation to faculty, staff, and students recently in the Gallery Lounge. Taken from the title of the well-known spiritual, “Like a motherless child expresses the overriding feeling of dispossession and alienation felt by the emigrants,” Burrowes says. Many of them former slaves, “they had no mother and they had no homeland,” he adds.

Heard on campus – Franklin and the Junto

Penn State Harrisburg faculty member and Benjamin Franklin scholar George Boudreau terms his recent discovery of a long-lost poem written in 1732 as “one of the greatest finds of my career.”

An associate professor of humanities and history, Boudreau’s research interests focus on Franklin and his philosophical organization called the Junto and the role it played in the cultural transformation of Philadelphia in the 1700s. Boudreau recently related his research findings during a Gallery Lounge presentation hosted by the offices of Academic Affairs and Research and Graduate Studies.
