Penn State guidance on the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the classroom and on campus to ensure the safety of our instructors, staff, and students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Families were busy on Saturday morning moving their students into their apartments in preparation for the start of classes at Penn State Scranton on Aug. 24. This year, due to precautions needed due to Covid 19, everyone was wearing masks and practicing social distancing -- making the experience different, but still an exciting one for students.
On Aug. 15 about 100 campus students moved into The Commons at University Drive apartments across the street from the Penn State Scranton campus under enhanced safety protocols instituted on account of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Keeping communities safe will take a collective effort. The campaign messaging is grounded in insights from surveys and focus groups comprised of students, faculty, staff and the State College community, and is a direct expectation for everyone to take personal actions to help create a safer environment as students return to campuses across the commonwealth.
Penn State has launched an integrated effort to remind faculty, staff and students at all campuses and in adjacent communities of the importance of doing their part to limit the spread of COVID-19. “Mask Up or Pack Up” is a research-based campaign that is also launched in State College to create a seamless message for students and other members of the community.
