Each year, faculty, staff, and students have an opportunity to nominate a Penn State Behrend staff member for the "Behrend's Best" Awards. Sponsored by the Janet Neff Sample Center for Manners and Civility, the awards recognize staff members who live the civility values and enrich our campus in doing so. In recent years, awards have been given for best team, best supervisor, best administrative staff member, and overall impact.
Nominations are submitted each spring. A selection committee of staff members read the nominations and select award recipients with the Chancellor. Winners are announced at the award luncheon.
For more information, contact Kim Paris, Amy Hopson, or Alice Puzarowski, who co-chair the Behrend's Best Committee.
