The Stand for State committee at Penn State Lehigh Valley is hosting a photo contest encouraging students to go around campus snapping selfies with faculty and staff who will be sporting green dot pins during launch week of the new Stand for State program.
Green dots, large and small, have appeared on the walls, doors, furniture, and even on the Nittany Lion at Penn State York.

Stand for State is an initiative aimed at empowering Penn Staters to stand up for one another. At Penn State York, information tables and activities explaining the bystander intervention program will be set-up on Jan. 27 in the lobby of the Main Classroom Building near the admissions office, and on Jan. 28 in The Bistro area of the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center.
