University Police & Public Safety

Brian Onishi, associate professor of philosophy at Penn State, and Jeff Stoyanoff, assistant professor of English and of women's, gender and sexuality studies at Penn State, released a new episode of their podcast, "Horror Joy" titled “Cult Horror: ‘Hereditary’ and ‘Midsommar.’”

On Sunday, April 6, Penn State Kinesiology’s Master of Athletic Training program will hold a simulated emergency exercise in collaboration with other University departments from 10 a.m. to noon on the lawn of the HUB-Robeson Center. Student actors will pose as injured athletes and spectators for athletic training students to practice administering emergency care in high-risk situations.

As the number of cyclists and others traveling across Penn State campuses continues to grow, University Police and Public Safety, Transportation Services, and the University as a whole remain committed to the safety of all, regardless of their means of travel. When bicycling or using any other personal mobility device, all are reminded of the following essential safety reminders based on recommendations from the League of America Bicyclists.

In January 2024, University Police and Public Safety announced the completion of a 911 addressing project, which resulted in the re-addressing of all buildings at University Park and 21 of Penn State’s Commonwealth Campuses. All faculty, staff and students are reminded that these new addresses for mailing are now in effect.

Penn State has begun including hazing incidents in the University’s crime and safety notifications as part of newly enacted amendments to the Clery Act, in accordance with federal requirements.
