Special Events Unit

Beaver Stadium during a home football game

Throughout the course of any given year, the Special Events Unit works alongside others in the department, including Student Auxiliary Officers and partners across the University, to provide security and support services to major events taking place on Penn State's campuses, and most notably at University Park. Police services are provided for numerous annual events, including Ag Profess Days, Penn State home football games, Bryce Jordan Center events, commencements, Dance Marathon, the Blue/White football game, State Patty's Day weekend, the Movin' On music festival, and Special Olympics, as well as one-time events.
