As part of Penn State's COVID-19 mitigation plans, COVID-19 tests will be required for all students moving into on-campus residential housing who have not shared with the University that they have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or provided a positive COVID-19 test result from the last 90 days prior to arrival.
David Laird has joined Penn State Hazleton as coordinator of residence life and student engagement. Among his duties, he will be responsible for administering residence life, student activities and student services programming focused on engagement, community service and diversity and inclusion.
The Hazleton LaunchBox supported by Pasco L. Schiavo, Esq. is accepting participants for its upcoming Idea Design Lab and Idea Test Lab programs, no-cost resources designed for aspiring and experienced entrepreneurs alike.
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.
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.
A language course designed for those who interact with Spanish-speaking co-workers or customers in the workplace will be offered at Penn State Hazleton this fall. The eight-week Spanish in the Workplace virtual course begins Sept. 16.
