Penn State Masking Protocol Updates

Beginning Wednesday, March 23, face masks will be optional in all indoor spaces, except in areas where the law requires them to be worn. Academic advisers and other employees at Penn State who work in their own individual offices may request that visitors wear masks while in their private offices, and faculty may request that their students wear masks during classes. We ask that community members cooperate respectfully with these requests

Please see Penn State News for more information on the updated masking protocols.
