Since 1937, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has been known as Christmas City USA. With two Christmas fairs, displays in all of the store windows, and walking tours of the historical areas, Bethlehem lives up to its moniker. It is
the place to be for Christmas.
This past year presented a quandary. Christmas was canceled due to COVID restrictions. What do you do if you are Christmas City USA?
Well, you move Christmas to July, of course. We were invited by the Downtown Bethlehem Association to come by for a preview of the festivities and to stay at the Hotel Bethlehem. Here is what we learned about Bethlehem’s Christmas in July.

When looking around Happy Valley, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone with as rich of a Penn State background as Steven Wagman.
He graduated from Penn State’s College of Health and Human Development in 1982, met his wife on campus, and raised a daughter who earned a Penn State degree. He even has a freezer at home filled to the brim with Death By Chocolate ice cream from Penn State’s Berkey Creamery.
Now, he’s seeking a chance to continue guiding the university forward as one of three alumni-elected members to its Board of Trustees.
Above all else, Wagman said he seeks to use his rich background with the university as a catalyst when potentially serving on the board. He’s previously volunteered for Penn State as a mentor for students, sat on the Alumni Council for nearly a decade, and served as the Penn State Alumni Association’s 80th president from 2017 to 2019. Following his term, Wagman assumed a seat on the Board of Trustees in July 2019.
Najee Rodriguez, a first-generation college student, is officially Penn State’s new student-body vice president.
As vice president, Rodriguez is responsible for chairing all UPUA meetings and sitting on various administrative task forces. Now, he’s finally getting a chance to stand up and have a voice in a room full of people to advocate for all students.
We sat down with Rodriguez to learn more about his diverse background, his goals for UPUA, and his favorite Creamery flavor is.
Onward State: Why and how did you first get involved with UPUA?
Najee Rodriguez: I think for me it all started at the involvement fair. Obviously, I did background research. I was involved in student government in high school, and I saw that UPUA was, of course, our student government here.
