Outdoor Areas for Expressive Activities

Expressing your freedom of speech on our campus

A university is inherently a marketplace of ideas, and Penn State encourages and protects the rights of members of the University community to express divergent viewpoints and opinions on matters of concern. At the same time, the University expects that persons engaging in expressive activity will comply with University rules and will demonstrate civility, concern for the safety of persons and property, and respect for University activities and for those who may disagree with their message. [Penn State Policy AD-51]

Penn State Beaver has designated the Quad in the center of campus as the area for expressive activities. Groups may be on campus between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
