2019-20 MRC Awards
Multicultural Resource Center’s 29th Awards
MRC Awards for Faculty/Staff and Senior Students
The Multicultural Resource Center (MRC) would like to recognize this year’s Annual Senior and Faculty/Staff Diversity Recognition Awards recipients. The 2020 awards honor multicultural University Park graduating seniors who excel in academics, leadership, and service. The awards also honor outstanding Penn State faculty and staff throughout Penn State who demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts beyond the responsibilities of their position.
Due to COVID-19 and the transition to remote learning, we were not able to hold our 2020 spring awards reception. Thus, the MRC would like to recognize our awards recipients by sharing what makes them outstanding awards recipients:
