UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — This week, we recognize six Penn Staters who go above and beyond what's asked of them in their work at the University. Thank you to:

Jessica Skelton-Wolfe, with Penn State Behrend, whose nominator wrote: "Penn State Behrend held two successful event days in the fall — the scholarship luncheon for nearly 700 students, families, donors and staff, and the dedication of the Mary Behrend monument with 150 attendees. These were successful because of Jessica Skelton-Wolfe, who led and coordinated each."

Bradley Keen, with Intercollegiate Athletics, whose nominator wrote: "Brad rallied resources to fill the gap of two lost (THON) canning weekends. The Athletic Department created a ticket donation plan to mobilize fans to join in the fight against childhood cancer. Brad's and others' efforts impacted more lives through their support of THON!"

Len Codispot, in the Center for Performing Arts, whose nominator wrote: "I met a couple that had driven from Ohio to see Jersey Boys. When they called about tickets, the person they talked with took the time to suggest things they could do while here. They had a great day. Kudos to Len Codispot in the Eisenhower box office for his customer service."

Kathy Highbaugh, with World Campus, whose nominator wrote: "Kathy goes above and beyond in everything that she touches! She cares so much about our students, and she is always helpful, knowledgeable and kind when staff members have questions about World Campus courses. It was such a pleasure to work with her at the World Campus!"

Thomas Skibinski, with the College of Engineering, whose nominator wrote: "Thomas Skibinski is a great, calm and friendly mentor. He is always approachable and gives good advice to his students."

Leslie Livingstone, at Penn State Wilkes-Barre, whose nominator wrote: "Leslie has taken on extra responsibilities with a smile and positive attitude. Leslie is always willing to help students and parents navigate through the admissions process, and her dedication continues with current students as she is often the 'go to' person when they need help."
