Daily News | As it celebrates its 50th year, Penn State’s 46-hour dance marathon resumes in person this weekend with safety protocols
at the BJC on Feb. 10. But it will be of the longest duration and draw one of the largest indoor crowds. The BJC holds about 15,000.
“They and we were very circumspect about whether we could pull this off,” said Damon Sims, vice president for student affairs. “We are confident we can, only because we have paid so much attention collectively to making sure we are doing all we can to make it as safe as it can be for everybody participating.”
Even some leaders who have had concerns about Penn State’s response to the pandemic were not too concerned about THON. “Penn State has really done a good job of requiring safety protocols,” Fountaine said. “It’s good to see the kids back here in person.”
