Food and housing security task force shares progress updates for trustees
May 06, 2021
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. As many college students across the country are increasingly facing food and housing insecurity, Penn State is developing new solutions, enhancing current resources and building a network of support to help tackle this rising challenge across the University’s campuses.
Spring break is a staple of the college experience, providing a getaway for Penn State students in the middle of the spring semester. The week typically allows time for decompressing from schoolwork and classes.
In an attempt to limit student travel amid the coronavirus pandemic, Penn State announced on Oct. 4, 2020 there would be no spring break this academic year.
Instead, the university delayed the start of the spring semester by one week to allow for students to complete their pre-arrival coronavirus testing. In addition, the university implemented three wellness days on Feb. 9, March 11 and April 7 in lieu of spring break.
