During its first General Assembly and sole summer meeting Wednesday, Penn Stateâs University Park Undergraduate Association confirmed new directors and representatives into a vast number of positions in anticipation of the fall semester.
The student government, which hopes to conduct its meetings in person next semester, hosted its summer session via Zoom.
For the four open positions on UPUAâs judicial board, student body President Erin Boas nominated four associate justices.
Andrew Waldman (sophomore-mechanical engineering), Kristine Gonzalez (senior-political science), Lawrence Corridoni (junior-mechanical engineering) and Yash Patni (sophomore-computer science) were each questioned and confirmed by the UPUA General Assembly.
The General Assembly then considered Boasâs (senior-international politics and economics) selections for directors of various student government departments.

While on-campus students have waited for the chance to come back to Penn State, some wonder if there is the possibility of being sent home should coronavirus cases rise in the area.
Penn State began the on-campus move-in process for the spring semester on Feb. 9 for the start of in-person classes on Feb. 15.
From Aug. 7 to Dec. 18, there were a total of 5,052 positive coronavirus tests in the fall semester at University Park, according to Penn Stateâs coronavirus dashboard. However, Penn State never suspended in-person classes or sent all on-campus students home in the fall.
Despite the possibility of being sent home early, several students are still living on campus this spring. One of these students is Maggie Whalen.
