Penn State recognizes that on-campus safety is a concern for all students and their families.

Safety at our campuses

"At all Penn State campuses, extensive efforts are taken to promote a safe and secure place for living and learning. The safety of students, faculty and staff has been, and continues to be, a top priority."
--Dr. Graham Spanier, president of Penn State

Students and their families are encouraged to contact the campus directly for additional information, as well as to visit the University’s Police website for Crime Statistics and Clery Act Information. The University also has an Emergency Preparedness website to address concerns regarding readiness in the event of an emergency.
