A&A Code of Culture

The College of Arts and Architecture at Penn State has a goal to establish a culture that is fair and just for everyone and embraces individual identities, fosters a culture of inclusion, and promotes equity. This requires a community free of discrimination, harassment, bullying, and intimidation. Participants at our events can expect to experience a safe, collaborative environment where they are treated with dignity and respect. Anyone exhibiting behaviors not aligned with these values will be asked to leave the premises. Ticket costs will not be refunded.
