As the University Park Undergraduate Association begins the new semester, many of its members are preparing to pursue large goals and tackle broad issues to bring change to Penn State.
The 15th Assembly of the University Park Undergraduate Association met virtually Wednesday for its first spring semester meeting.
During the special presentations portion of the evening, UPUA heard from Campus Recreation representative Laura Hall. Hall spoke about the successes of Campus Recreation throughout the fall semester and shared hopes of programming expansions moving forward this spring.
A new esports lounge is expected to open no later than the fall 2021 semester in the White Building. Campus Recreation will also submit a proposal to the Student Fee Board regarding the expansion of the Stone Valley Recreation Area.
Campus Rec is now slated to reopen on February 8, a week before the remote period ends. Hours and time slots will be extended so more students can use on-campus facilities and programs each day.
Penn Stateâs University Park Undergraduate Association held its first general assembly meeting of the spring semester Wednesday night. The 15th general assembly opened the semester discussing a bill supporting transgender students.
