Penn State is committed to creating a welcoming and secure environment where every student can thrive. Through a network of programs, policies, and support services, we work to ensure that students have access to the resources they need to stay safe, be supported, and make informed choices. Whether it’s help with basic needs, legal or financial support, or responding to harm, we are here for you.
