UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. ؅— The annual Night of Remembrance vigil will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on April 29. The vigil will be available to view remotely through livestream provided by WPSU and also will include an in-person component, to be held on the steps of Old Main on Penn State’s University Park campus and following masking and distancing guidelines.

Organized by the University Park Undergraduate Association, the vigil will honor and remember students who passed away this past academic year. Attendees will be provided with candles, and the candlelight service will provide an opportunity for members of the University community to reflect and remember those who have passed.
