Morgan Auditorium COVID-19 setup

The Morgan Auditorium usually plays host to Penn State Schuylkill's theatre students and large events, but will be used as an atypical learning space in the fall 2020 semester as the large space allows for students and faculty to maintain social distancing. Every other row is closed, and students attending classes in the Morgan will have three empty seats between them.

HoverCams are document cameras that allow faculty and students to stream close-up views of documents and more to remote learners. These will be especially handy as students rotate into and out of science labs.

Mask Up or Pack Up feature

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.

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.
