One incumbent trustee was defeated in what was one of the closest vote counts in recent years.
The top vote-getter in this year’s election, run from April 10 through May 6, was former Penn State football star Brandon Short, who was first elected to the board in 2018. Short, who graduated from Penn State in 1999, played for 7 years in the NFL and is now a principal in a London-based real estate private equity firm, received 14,299 votes.
