Penn HSS Grads Lured to Central Pennsylvania

I have heard from various sources now that recent-Ph.D Chloe Silverman accepted a tenure-track offer with the STS program at Penn State University, located in the State College/University Park area. Meanwhile, not far down the road, I (Jeremy Vetter) accepted an offer in the History Department at Dickinson College, located in Carlisle. I have no explanation, really, for the strange pull of central Pennsylvania for our recent Ph.D graduates, although it is certainly nice that Chloe and I will both be so close to all our friends in Philadelphia!

And Jeff Tang, whose promotion to a tenure-track position at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia was noted in an earlier message (inexplicably deleted?), will not be that far down the road either.
