Penn State cancels all nonessential meetings, events through at least June 19
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, Penn State has canceled all nonessential, in-person meetings and events through at least June 19.
In a release Friday, the university said the decision — which applies to all Penn State campuses — aims to protect the health of students, staff, faculty and campus visitors. All meetings have been canceled, rescheduled or moved to an online platform. The announcement aligns with last week’s move to cancel all in-person summer camp programs.
“The decision also takes into account Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s stay-at-home order, which at this point, extends until April 30, but may be prolonged,” Penn State wrote in a release.
Any essential in-person meeting or event must have fewer than 10 attendees and comply with social distancing guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Events expected to have more than 10 participants must be approved by Executive Vice President and Provost Nicholas Jones. All requests must include a description of how social distancing will be maintained and sent to provost@psu.edu.
