It is our hope with 'Together We Are' that the promotion of these values are not solely for this event, but that it will serve as a stepping stone for any and all events hosted on the University Park campus," said Markovich. "By having this event, our goal is to increase dialog and create a safer space for Penn State students, faculty, and members alike.
