If you missed Penn State’s fall semester town hall Tuesday afternoon, there’s a lot you probably need to catch up on. In a gist, vaccines aren’t mandatory, COVID-19 testing is ramping up, and mask policies aren’t changing…yet. To learn more about Penn State’s fall semester plans, check out what we know so far. Vaccinations First and foremost, the university doubled down on not requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for students and employees.
