If you missed Penn State’s fall semester town hall Tuesday afternoon, there’s a lot you probably need to catch up on.
In a gist, vaccines aren’t mandatory, COVID-19 testing is ramping up, and mask policies aren’t changing…yet. To learn more about Penn State’s fall semester plans, check out what we know so far.
Vaccinations
First and foremost, the university doubled down on not requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for students and employees. Instead, Penn State will continue encouraging them for all to promote community safety.
“While we are not currently requiring vaccinations, Penn State is not impartial when it comes to getting vaccinated,” said President Eric Barron. “The university’s stance is that everyone who can get a vaccine should do so as soon as possible to attain very high vaccination rates on all Penn State campuses.”
Throughout the university’s “Commencement Celebration Weekend,” the Class of 2020 and their families can return to University Park for a full slate of events, including commencement ceremonies at the Bryce Jordan Center on Saturday, April 30. Graduates will walk the stage and receive individual recognition.
Commonwealth Campus graduates are also encouraged to visit University Park for the weekend celebration. Individual campuses are expected to reach out to their alumni for separate events, too.
