Penn State student organizations and units at campuses across the commonwealth will be holding events in honor of National Women’s History Month. Here’s a look at some of the events taking place at the University’s campuses during the month of March.
Penn State is planning a phased return over the summer semester to a full on-campus learning environment for fall 2021. The University’s priorities continue to be the health and well-being of its students, faculty, staff and local communities, and the plans for expanded in-person classes have the flexibility built in to quickly respond to changing pandemic conditions, if necessary.
Penn State Harrisburg’s Diversity and Educational Equity Committee will host “Silenced Voices,” an episodic series about the lived experiences of the Penn State Harrisburg community on the issues of race, religion, gender, disability and other issues.
Penn State Harrisburg’s School of Behavioral Sciences and Education and the Diversity and Educational Equity Committee will host licensed psychologist Pamela Hays from 6 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 2 for a virtual presentation/workshop exploring implicit bias and microaggressions and their relationship to systems of privilege, as well as strategies for building multicultural competence.
Despite COVID-19 presenting a variety of challenges to countless university programs, organizations and activities, the Chancellor's Leadership Access Student Program at Penn State Harrisburg, which welcomed a new cohort of students during the fall 2020 semester, saw its highest number of applicants in program history.
As part of the University’s comprehensive testing strategy for the spring semester, all Penn State students must meet requirements for COVID-19 testing prior to their return or if they are already living in their campus community.
