Nominations are currently being sought for Penn State’s 2020 Rosemary Schraer Mentoring Award, established in 1994 by family, friends and colleagues of Rosemary Schraer, a former associate provost of Penn State and former chancellor of the University of California, Riverside.
The award is presented each year to a University employee, regardless of gender, who exemplifies Schraer’s giving of herself as a mentor, and who has voluntarily, over a period of time, helped others recognize and achieve their potential. Consideration is given to employees — administrators, faculty, technical service or staff members — who have a record of outstanding mentoring service that goes beyond the requirements of their employment duties and responsibilities. Penn State Commission for Women at University Park reviews award nominations and selects the winner of the award.
The recipient will be honored at the Faculty and Staff Awards Ceremony taking place April 3, 2020, at University Park.
Nominations are open until 4 p.m. Feb. 7, 2020.
For details, email Ashley Jackson at amj182@psu.edu.
