UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Nominations are currently being sought for the 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 breadth 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.
At minimum, one statement of support from a peer, subordinate, superior or mentee is required, but up to three one-page documents in support of the nominee may be submitted. The Commission for Women reviews award nominations and selects the winner of the award.
The recipient of this year’s Rosemary Schraer Mentoring Award will be honored at the Faculty and Staff Awards Ceremony on the University Park campus.
Submit nominations here. Submissions will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 8.
