      UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The annual Night of Remembrance vigil will be held at 6 p.m. on April 28 at the Old Main steps on the University Park campus. The vigil will honor and remember students who died during the 2021-22 academic year across all Penn State campuses.

      Candles will be provided for all attendees, and the candlelight service will provide an opportunity for reflection and remembrance. Anyone who feels moved to speak will have the chance to do so.

      The annual vigil is organized by the University Park Undergraduate Association (UPUA), the Graduate and Professional Student Association, the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments, and the World Campus Student Government Association. 

      A livestream of the vigil will be available on the UPUA Facebook page.
