Recognized student organizations may return to holding in-person activities, including meetings, tabling, and other events for the fall semester. Students are expected to follow all current masking requirements on their campus during these activities.
"Pomp and Circumstance" isn't normally a song heard at a ballpark but on Saturday, May 8 at 11 a.m., Penn State York will hold its first in-person commencement in more than a year at PeoplesBank Park in downtown York, Pennsylvania. The event is not open to the public and students, faculty, staff, and guests will need a ticket to attend.
Matt Howie, medical doctor, the city of York's medical director and chief health strategist, will share information about COVID-19 vaccines during a Zoom presentation, COVID-19 Vaccines in York County, set for 6:30 p.m. Feb. 11. The free program is sponsored by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Penn State York. Registration is required.
Joel Gugino, a member of the technical service staff at Penn State York, was one of 34 staff and faculty volunteers who contacted every Penn State York student either by call or email. The Student Wellness Call Project's goal was to connect with students and make sure they had the things needed to be successful during remote learning brought on by the spread of COVID-19.
Based on evolving federal guidance and statewide mitigation plans announced by Gov. Tom Wolf around the growing coronavirus pandemic and the global efforts underway to stop its spread, Penn State has extended the remote-delivery period for all classes through at least the spring semester. Examinations will also be administered remotely. Additionally, spring commencement ceremonies will be postponed while the University explores options for celebrating the achievements of our students.
