Nominations sought
for Schraer Award

Nominations are being sought for the annual Rosemary Schraer Mentor Award, sponsored by the Commission for Women. The award, created in memory of Rosemary Schraer, former associate provost for Penn State, honors a current University employee who has excelled in helping others to recognize and achieve their potential professionally and personally.

The award recognizes individuals who have advised, facilitated, encouraged or paved the way for others. Consideration for the award will be given to any University employee who has a record of outstanding mentoring service going beyond the requirements of their employment.

Schraer, who died in 1992, joined the University in 1959 as a faculty member in the Eberly College of Science and through her 26-year tenure was noted for her mentoring abilities. In 1985, she accepted a position as executive vice chancellor and then chancellor of the University of California, Riverside.

Nominations are due by Friday, Feb. 15, and should be returned to Vasu Varadan, chair of the Nominations Committee, Commission for Women, 212 Earth and Engineering Sciences Building, University Park, PA, 16802.
