STATE COLLEGE, CENTRE COUNTY - A student who visited Penn State last weekend is now being treated for Meningitis.

The West Chester University student was on campus for a conference. 

Officials with university health services say the student only interacted with a small group of Penn State students, and those people are receiving antibiotic therapy treatments to prevent them from contracting the infection. 

School officials say they're not concerned the virus will spread on campus.
