Penn State York, Fox43 news, and the American Red Cross ask campus and community members to bleed for a good cause at the annual community blood drive on campus, set for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 26 in the Conference Center of the Main Classroom Building.
Bob Lehman, a lieutenant in University Police and Public Safety at Penn State, takes the opportunity to bleed for a good cause and help save lives during a community blood drive at Penn State York several years ago. He is a regular blood donor. Penn State York, Fox43 news, and the American Red Cross are partnering for a community blood drive from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 26, in the conference center at Penn State York. All blood donors are required to wear masks while in University buildings.
In a move designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 on Penn State campuses, the union representing about 2,600 technical service employees, has agreed to follow University requirements for mask-wearing, regardless of vaccination status. The agreement goes into effect immediately.

Due to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 conditions around the country and in Pennsylvania, effective immediately (Aug. 4), Penn State will require all students, faculty, staff and visitors — including those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated — to wear masks indoors at all campuses. Within the last 24 hours, many counties that are home to Penn State campuses have shifted to “orange” status, warranting an immediate adjustment to the University’s on-campus masking requirement.
