Penn State Scranton recently donated personal protective equipment (PPE) to two local hospitals, Geisinger Community Medical Center and Commonwealth Health Moses Taylor Hospital, to help them during the growing coronavirus pandemic.

With Penn State Scranton students now into their sixth week of stay-at-home restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Campus Counselor Katherine Stefanelli offers some tips on how to deal with the stress, anxiety and loneliness that some may be feeling.

Due to the economic challenges facing Pennsylvania and the nation, Penn State President Eric J. Barron announced plans today (April 23) to freeze tuition rates for all students University-wide for the 2020-21 academic year. The plan, which will be presented to the University’s Board of Trustees for final approval at its July meeting, would mark the third consecutive year that Penn State has held tuition rates flat for Pennsylvania resident students.

This semester, due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, students will be doing their finals at home on their computers. This creates a few potential challenges, such as inability to access physical library resources, faulty internet connections, and lingering stress from upcoming final exams. Luckily, faculty and staff are doing their best to accommodate their students’ needs in these trying times -- through virtual means.

The four finalists will be decided when the groups are played from 19 to 24 November.

Lets hope it’s for the right reasons.
